Example

A complete Cake example can be found here.

TroubleShooting

• Please be aware of the breaking changes that occurred with the release of Cake v0.22.0, as a result you will need to upgrade Cake in order to use Cake.WebDeploy [v0.3.0] or above.
• Please appreciate that this project is a wrapper for MS WebDeploy, so before raising an issue please ensure you can perform the task using MS WebDeploy directly. Microsoft has loads of great articles on WebDeploy on the IIS website.

A few pointers for correctly enabling WebDeploy scripting can be found here.

Plays well with

If your looking to manage IIS its worth checking out Cake.IIS or if your running a WebFarm inside AWS then check out Cake.AWS.ElasticLoadBalancing.

If your looking for a way to trigger cake tasks based on windows events or at scheduled intervals then check out CakeBoss.
