WebDeploy - Not able to log on the user '.\WDeployConfigWriter' #24

Open hung-doan opened 8 years ago

Not able to log on the user '.\WDeployConfigWriter'. 
Logon failure: the specified account password has expired.

Full credit to this blog, the problem is that the Web Deploy installer creates users with expiring passwords that are used to elevate permissions during deployment

Solution:

Use server manager on the accounts WDeployAdmin and WDeployConfigWriter to reset the password check password never expires uncheck user must change password next logon
