I'm trying to deploy to a high-availability configuration: 2 Windows 2003/IIS 6.0 servers behind a load balancer. The Virtual Directory definitions both point to the same NAS share via a UNC address. MSDeploy connects to the first server, gets the UNC address then fails authenticating access to the NAS folders. MSDeploy is being run by a workflow engine using an Active Directory ID. That ID is in the Administrators group for both web servers and has update authority to the NAS folders. I've logged into the web servers using the ID and can access the folders from the web servers by using Start->Run and specifying the UNC path.
Here are the messages from MSDeploy:
d:\build\agent3\bi_hartsource_mmaccountscore\Microsoft_Deploy_Web_App\trunk>"C:\Program Files\IIS\Microsoft Web Deploy V3\msdeploy.exe" -verb:sync -source:package=MMAccountScoreToSiebel.zip -dest:auto,computerName=AD1HFDS7IF901 -disableLink:AppPoolExtension -disableLink:ContentExtension -disableLink:CertificateExtension -setParamFile:"MMAccountScoreToSiebel.SetParameters.xml" 2>MMAccountScoreToSiebel.deploy.log

Does the Web Deploy Agent on the web server use the context of the ID which executed the MSDeploy command to access the folders that are behind the Virtual Directory? Is additional configuration of Web Deploy required? There isn't much doc I can find on configuring Web Deploy on Windows 2003/IIS 6.0 other than putting the ID of the remote requester into the Administrators group...
