Web Deploy to 2 IIS Servers

Question

Web Deploy to 2 IIS Servers

jyg 1

I have an asp.net ASMX application. This application need to be deployed to 2 IIS servers, both of which are behind a load balancer.

How can I use Microsoft Web Deploy to deploy my application to both webservers? I have googled and researched extensively, and I couldn't find anything.

At present, I have to manually copy and paste the application to each server.

Hi @jyg ,

All web applications(not only ASMX) use same way to publish to IIS via web deploy. You need to use visual studio to combine with web deploy.

You just need to change server and destination URL, make sure visual stuido connect to IIS in different server. The rest is just left to visual studio and web deploy to do.

Thanks for your answer, but it's missing one thing. Your answer only works for ONE destination server. What if I have 2 serves that need to be deployed to? How can I enter 2 servers into that GUI?

Hi @jyg ,

If you want to deploy to multiples servers at once, you need to write a script and use web deploy to execute it. The script use different server parameters to publish application package to different servers. Machines.txt file contains the names of all other computers. Then sync.cmd -fromPackage <package file path>. You can refer to this docs about how to write the script and what the paramters mean.

Another way is you can publish to a server first. Then synchronize other IIS to make sure all these IIS have same configuration. It also use web deploy and script.
