Sync Issues

Hi,

I am a web deploy newbie trying to sync 2 windows server 2012 web servers (VM's on windows azure) which has created a cloud service. All websites on iis plug into a SQL Azure Database which does not need to be included in webdeploy.

Ive run the following script

Import-AzurePublishSettingsFile '3-Month Free Trial-1-11-2013-credentials.publishsettings'

Import-Module 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Azure\PowerShell\Azure\Azure.psd1'

$publishingServer = (gc env:computername).toLower()

$serviceName = 'myserviceweb03'

Get-AzureVM -ServiceName $serviceName | foreach {

     if ($_.Name.toLower() -ne $publishingServer) {
           $target = $_.Name + ":8080"
           $source = $publishingServer + ":8080"
           $exe = "C:\Program Files\IIS\Microsoft Web Deploy V3\msdeploy.exe"
           [Array]$params = "-verb:sync", "-source:contentPath=C:\Inetpub\wwwroot,computerName=$source", "-dest:contentPath=C:\Inetpub\wwwroot,computerName=$target";& $exe $params;
              }
                }

when running this I get the following error message

PS C:\SyncScript> C:\SyncScript\sync.ps1

Info: Using ID '1e66bbb5-xxxxx-xxxxx-a9d8-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' for connections to the remote server.

Error: Unable to connect to the remote server

Error: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 10.0.0.5:8080

Error count: 1.

PS C:\SyncScript> 

As a matter of interest 10.0.0.5 is the source server.

Ive disabled the firewall (just for test purposes) & there is also an endpoint on this server for port 8080. I checked the management service on iis & checked allow remote management & restarted the service.

Id be happy to manually enter target & source servers to make things a little easier.

Any ideas where i might be going wrong.

Thanks in advance
