I got 404 from IE browser from https: // servername: 8172 / MsDeploy.axd
But Chrome was not worried.
This may be the first test to find out if you can even contact the web management service on the server. In other words: When chome worked (it responded with a blank page), you have access to the service on the server.
However, you also need to have permission to deploy to a specific site. In IIS, locate the site and do it in the "IIS Manager Permissions" in the "Management" section.
