tfs - Valid Parameters for MSDeploy via MSBuild

Question

I'm trying to deploy a web application using MSDeploy, on Team Build in TFS. There are several questions that address the properties that have to be passed in MSBuild in order to call MSDeploy, but I haven't found sufficient documentation for what properties are available. Does someone have a list of available properties?

Here are some questions that I've found, but I haven't been able to find a definitive list of the properties:

• Breaking MsBuild package & deploy into separate MsBuild and MsDeploy commands
• How can I get TFS2010 to run MSDEPLOY for me through MSBUILD?

Answer 1
