I have a simple VS2012 mvc website. I have built a deployment package for this to deploy to the local instance of IIS 8. I am able to publish this manually from Visual Studio (right click the project and hit publish) and it works great.
I created a TFS 2012 build for the project. This successfully compiled and executed my unit tests. My next step was to enhance the build so that it also deployed the website - this is where I've run into problems.
I added the following as "MSBuild Arguments": /p:DeployOnBuild=True /p:DeployTarget=MsDeployPublish /p:DeployIisAppPath="Default Web Site/TrainingCompany" /p:MsDeployServiceUrl=urlhere.com /p:username=username /p:password=password
Following a build I get the following in the msbuild log file:
Could not complete the request to remote agent URL 'http://urlhere.com:8172/msdeploy.axd?site=Default Web Site'.
The operation has timed out

From fiddler I've tried executing the following as a GET request - my guess is I should get something back but I just get a 504 timeout:
http://urlhere.com:8172/msdeploy.axd
Could anyone please advise what I may be doing wrong or what extra steps I can take to troubleshoot?
