I have a Server 2012 R2 machine on a domain to which I would like to use Web Deploy to deploy a web site. This works fine when I use my domain credentials.
Web Deploy fails with ERROR_USER_NOT_ADMIN
when I use either the Administrator account, or a new account in the Administrators group.
Error Code: ERROR_USER_NOT_ADMIN
More Information: Connected to '192.168.76.109' using the Web Deployment Agent Service, but could not authorize. Make sure you are an administrator on '192.168.76.109'. Learn more at: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=221672#ERROR_USER_NOT_ADMIN.
Error: The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.
I have tried using the special MSDepSvcUsers group, installing all sorts of remote management tools for IIS 8.5, delegating permissions, and reinstalling Web Deploy after installing the remote management features. Because I am a vegetarian, I have not yet tried sacrificing a goat.
Why can't I use a local account to deploy my web site?
