Web Deploy randomly fails
Hey,
I am using webdeploy to deploy 4 web projects from a solution. Problem is sometimes it fails to deploy with the following message.
Deploying using WebDeploy provider
Synchronizing contents of "Rubrikk.Munin.WebService.Api" artifact to website MuninWebServiceApi on server {myserver}/msdeploy.axd using WebDeploy
Synchronizing website content
Info: Using ID '61fa0a91-905d-4e2d-a1eb-42fb4a7b145c' for connections to the remote server.
Could not connect to the remote computer ("myserver"). On the remote computer, make sure that Web Deploy is installed and that the required process ("Web Management Service") is started. Learn more at: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=221672#ERROR_DESTINATION_NOT_REACHABLE.
Sometimes it fails on first app. Sometimes on second.
I noticed that I did it 2 times in a row and first time it failed on first deploy. Second time on second deploy. Maybe there is some timeout to take down the current web application and that is exceeded?

Have you tried deploying via "Environments" to see if problem persists?

Got the same error with environment web deploy.
But I managed to make it work though. I used AppVeyor Agent to deploy website and that seems like its working.
I am thinking the error happens because its trying to deploy 2 websites using webdeploy, in the same time, on the same server and that is causing some problems. Probably IIS because it was locking some dlls on my server, that i couldn't delete unles i killed the iis web deploy process
Thanks.
