TFS 2010 Publish website to IIS7

TFS

Hi,

I am attempting to use TFS 2010 to automate - build and publish a website (CMS) to remote server and also deploy this to IIS. Currently this is being done manually.

I am testing this on local server first. I am able to create a build without problems. The problem is that it does not deploy the build to IIS. i have defined below parameters in the build definition under MSBuild Arguments.

/p:DeployOnBuild=True /p:DeployTarget=MsDeployPublish
/p:MSDeployPublishMethod=InProc /p:CreatePackageOnPublish=True
/p:DeployIisAppPath="Default Web Site/Website1"
/p:MsDeployServiceUrl=http://localhost/Website1
/p:UserName=Australasia\admin /p:Password=pwd


When I queue a new TFS build with above settings, I expect TFS to create a website folder (website1) in IIS7 and then deploy build to that folder. This does not happen.

Any thoughts? many thanks.
