The Demise of Xcopy Deployment

One of the great features of .Net when it first released was Xcopy deployment. No more .dll registrations, just copy the files to the web server. While this was a great feature for Microsoft developers, new problems emerged, specifically around managing web.config. Sections like connection strings and custom errors need to be managed between environments, which meant many copies of the files or scripts to change them. Other necessary steps, like managing permissions and IIS configuration were still outside the Xcopy process. A recent tool, MSDeploy, is now integrated into Visual Studio 2010 and makes managing these issues easier. Besides web.config, MSDeploy also manages file deployments and synchronization, ACLs, and IIS settings. If your deployments have multiple steps, need ReadMe files, or can’t be done by someone outside your team, you need to learn MSDeploy!

- When adding the Web Server (IIS) role, be sure to install Management Service.In the Services snap-in, find the Web Management Service and set its startup to Automatic (it’s manual by default). Don’t start it yet. Open the Internet Information Services Manager, and select the server. Open the Management Service feature. Check Enable Remote Connections. Choose a port (or keep the default), IP, Certificate, choose any restrictions you might require. In the Actions part of the right pane, click Apply. Click the Start link in the right pane.
