Hi All,

Am trying to migrate the websites hosted on 2003 server to 2012.

Installed the webdeploy 3.5 tool on 2012 server, and ran the whatif command.  Getting the below error.

Error Code: ERROR_DESTINATION_NOT_REACHABLE

On the  remote computer, make sure that Web Deploy is installed and that the required process ("Web Deployment Agent Service") is started.

Do I need to install the webdeploy tool on my source server 2003.

Hi,

Thanks for your post.

For error ERROR_DESTINATION_NOT_REACHABLE usually indicates Web Management Service or Remote Agent is not installed or unreachable on the remote computer.

Please verify that Remote Agent Service or Web Management Service are started on the remote computer, depending on which one you are connecting to. You can do a "net start wmsvc & net start msdepsvc" on the remote computer to ensure these services are started. Also, ensure that a firewall is not interrupting communications with the destination.

Here is the article you may refer to.

And I suggest you could post this question in the IIS forum for more support
