Cannot add additional server from the Server Explorer - visual-studio

Can some of you can help me with this.
What I have to do:
I have to publish my code from my local machine to the server. I found that I have to add the current server in the Server Explorer(to be able to create a Publish profile "method File System" and in the xml file to show the path of where to publish my code on the server).
But I cannot add this server on my Server Explorer.
What I tried:
1.Remote debugging - not working
2.stop the firewall - not working
3.Tried with the Name of the Server and the IP
The error that I receive is :
Could not reconnect to "Static". Make Sure that the machine name and path are valid.
I will be really happy if somebody can help me!

Web deploy failing, says DESTINATION NOT REACHABLE

I honestly don't know where to start apart from mentioning I've tried absolutely everything and I feel like banging my head against the wall!
I've configured my IIS according to the Microsoft docs and also added Web Deploy 3.6.
In my services I have the following running:
In my windows firewall I have opened port 8172:
In my IIS I have enabled remote connections:
Within IIS I have a Site which points to an empty folder, when I right click -> Deploy -> Configure Web Deploy publishing I get this:
Using this, I've set up a publish profile in VS like so:
But get this error why I try and 'Validate' the connection:
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error Web deployment task failed. (Could not connect to the remote computer ("server2021"). On the remote computer, make sure that Web Deploy is installed and that the required process ("Web Management Service") is started.

This error indicates that you cannot connect to the server. Make sure the service URL is correct, firewall and network settings on this computer and on the server computer are configured properly, and the appropriate services have been started on the server.

Unable to connect to the remote server
A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond
I can't even remote to this server, I'm accessing it using TeamViewer.
I've viewed EventViewer logs on my local machine and it just says the same error which VS is spitting out.
I honestly don't know what I'm doing and I'd really really appreciate any help

Cant web deploy web application from team city

Im having a bit of trouble web deploying from my CI server teamcity.I can however do a web deploy through visual studio.
I get the following error
Open in IDE
C:\Program Files
(x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v14.0\Web\Microsoft.Web.Publishing.targets(4276,
5): error ERROR_DESTINATION_NOT_REACHABLE: Web deployment task failed.
(Could not connect to the remote computer ("destinationserver"). On
the remote computer, make sure that Web Deploy is installed and that
the required process ("Web Deployment Agent Service") is started.
Learn more at:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=221672#ERROR_DESTINATION_NOT_REACHABLE.)
and this is my configuration in team city
enter image description here
i have also opened up port 8172 so i dont think it is a permissions issue and checked the username and pass is correct
So what i dont understand is why i am able to publish locally but not from the CI?
Thanks,
Martin
I solve this replacing the IP address of the destination host with the DNS name and adding this parameter to the deployment:
/P:MsDeployServiceUrl=https://%TargetServer%/MsDeploy.axd?site=%SiteName%

Unable to generate a temporary class (result=1)

WebDeploy - just can't get it to work

I've installed Web Deploy 2.1 on a Server 2008 R2 running under VMWare.
In the IIS Manager (Management Service applet) I can see that "Enable Remote Connections" is checked and the port is set to 8172. Under "IIS Manager Permissions" I've added my Windows account (CORP\ekkis) and under the "Authentication" applet (for IIS) I have enabled "Windows Authentication".
I've also turned off the firewall.
So from the command line I test the system to work like this:
C:\Program Files\IIS\Microsoft Web Deploy V2>msdeploy -verb:dump -source:contentPath=\temp,wmsvc=192.168.0.70,username=CORP\ekkis,password=MyPass,authType=Basic -allowUntrusted=True
and get this:
Info: Using ID '9b954a0f-ff07-4e77-ba2c-d27472f5fda0' for connections to the rem
ote server.
Error Code: ERROR_USER_UNAUTHORIZED
More Information: Connected to the destination computer ("192.168.0.70") using t
he Web Management Service, but could not authorize. Make sure that you are using
the correct user name and password, that the site you are connecting to exists,
and that the credentials represent a user who has permissions to access the sit
e.
Error: Object of type 'contentPath' and path '\temp' cannot be created.
Error: The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.
Error count: 1.
I've also tried deploying with Visual Studio 2010 from the host OS with the following service urls (I haven't found proper documentation on how to form this url):
https://192.168.0.70/
https://192.168.0.70:8172/
https://192.168.0.70:8172/MsDeployAgentService/
https://192.168.0.70/MsDeployAgentService/
I've tried the non-secure versions as well but just cannot get it to work. What is the correct format for the url? and what permissions am I missing?
the errors from VS have varied depending on how I attempt it but below is a sample:
Could not complete the request to remote agent URL 'http://192.168.0.70:8172//MSDEPLOYAGENTSERVICE'.
The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a receive.
Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host
Publish failed to deploy.
there really should be a guide out there to do this (yes, I've googled myself blue in the face)!
thanks - ekkis
ok, I've figured out that the correct url is:
https://192.168.0.70:8172/MsDeploy.axd
and that having the "Windows Authentication" enabled doesn't seem to make a difference. Also, having my account in the "Managers" list doesn't seem to make a difference either.
so the back end was all working fine (I've turned off the Web Deployment Agent Service). it was just the url I had wrong.

ClickOnce Not Obeying Installation Folder for Localhost

I'm testing a ClickOnce application deployment. I have setup a virtual directory on my machine (running IIS). I have specified http://localhost/SampleApplication as the Installation Folder URL in the Publish tab of Visual Studio. However, when I publish the application I get the following error:
Warning: Files could not be downloaded
from http://chrish/SampleApplication/.
The remote server returned an error:
(407) Proxy Authentication Required.
Publish success.
Warning: Unable to
view published application at
http://chrish/SampleApplication/publish.htm.
http://chrish/SampleApplication/publish.htm
Notice how it has changed my url from Localhost to my login name. Why? This wasn't happening a week ago.
ClickOnce installation involves verifying that the server name matches the expected name. Thus localhost always gets translated under the covers to the computer name [not the username as you suggest in your question] (one of many confusing things ClickOnce does - one side effect of this is that if you want to set up 3 download servers, you need to do 3 separate publishes and/or script the publish like this) or like this. So this is not a surprise - it's always doing that under the covers.
The 407 error relates to proxy auth. This implies downloading is being diverted via a proxy such as Microsoft ISA Server. Have a look in your IE Internet Options Connections Proxy Settings and make sure its bypassing for local addresses [such as chrish].
The reason it's reporting success is that the upload likely uses an alternate mechanism than the verification does and isn't being routed via / blocked by the proxy. (The underlying problem is that the .NET framework does not by default pass proxy credentials and you'd need to either apply a config entry for devenv or whatever does the publish or have the build process call a test step with extra code that does send the proxy credentials](http://blogs.msdn.com/jpsanders/archive/2009/03/24/httpwebrequest-webexcepton-the-remote-server-returned-an-error-407-proxy-authentication-required.aspx). See also How should I set the default proxy to use default credentials?)
ClickOnce doesn't like "localhost", but you can work around that.
If you set the Publishing Folder Location to:
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\SampleApplication\
and the Installation Folder URL to:
http://chrish/SampleApplication/
(where "chrish" is the network name of your computer) then you can publish locally.
