I am getting the following error message when attempting to publish my website from my windows 7 development machine to my remote server running windows 8.1.
Error 1 Web deployment task failed. (Connected to 'yyyyyyy' using the Web Deployment Agent Service, but could not authorize. Make sure you are an administrator on yyyyyy. Learn more at LinkId=221672#ERROR_USER_NOT_ADMIN
I am deploying from VS 2013 express using the Web Deploy method.
Yes, I am deploying using an admin account. It does not matter what I enter for credentials, it is the same. I have read and set up everything as instructed. This is very frustrating, to say the least.
I was able to deploy with no problems for a year or more until I upgraded to express 2013, and window 8.1.
I can publish directly from the windows 8.1 server machine with no problems using the same express 2013
I have tried numerous things, for several weeks now, can't get it to work. I have read more white pages on how to do this than you can believe, I have tried, and tried, and tried again, no luck.
I can provide any additional information you need to help me solve this. I can get screenshots or logs or anything you need to help.
