MSBUILD publish ERROR_USER_UNAUTHORIZED

Question

Summary

I'm using a 9.2.0 Gitlab's CI multirunner on a Windows Server 2016. On a step where I publish ASP.NET project through MSBUILD I've got an authentication error ERROR_USER_UNAUTHORIZED from IIS. But when I use a CMD window on a build machine there I run the same command for publish - everything is published. Doesn't matter if I used a SYSTEM or an ADMINISTRATOR account.

Steps to reproduce

1. Setup IIS publish.
2. Setup Gitlab's build agent.
3. Create the Gitlab's YAML build script (see below).
4. Run the build.

Actual behavior

On a publish step I've got the ERROR_USER_UNAUTHORIZED error.

Expected behavior

On a publish step I've got my ASP.NET published to a server.

Answer 1

Solved by changing the arguments' order and format for MSBUILD.

- '"%msbuild%" "%solution%" /p:DeployOnBuild=True;Username=username;Password=password;DeployTarget=MSDeployPublish;MsDeployServiceUrl=https://192.168.1.66:8172/msdeploy.axd;Configuration=Release;TargetFramework=v4.5.2;AllowUntrustedCertificate=True;DeployIisAppPath=Faso;MSDeployPublishMethod=WMSVC;SkipExtraFilesOnServer=True;ExcludeFilesFromDeployment="Web.config;ConnectionStrings.config;system.config"'
