I have a release definition in TFS with 2 tasks. One of them passes perfectly, while the other throws an exception, though both have very smimlar configuration.
The successful task configuration:
CopyFile Task
Source: $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/XXX Build Definition/drop
Machines $(WebServers)
Admin Login: server\user
Password: Password
Protocol: HTTP
Destination Folder: C:\DestFolder
Variables: WebServers: MyServer
The failing task configuration:
RunPowerShellOnRemoteComputer Task
Machines $(WebServers)
Admin Login: server\user
Password: Password
Protocol: HTTP
PowerShell Script: C:\...\script.ps1
Variables: WebServers: MyServer
When running the second task I receive this exception:
Exception calling "SetRight" with "2" argument(s): "Could not obtain the user information." CategoryInfo :NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException FullyQualifiedErrorId :Exception ---> System.Management.Automation.RemoteException: Exception calling "SetRight" with "2" argument(s): "Could not obtain the user information." --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Services.DevTestLabs.Deployment.Deployment.PowershellExecutor.Invoke(String errorContextMessage, Boolean writeResultToLog, Boolean isCancellable) at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Services.DevTestLabs.Deployment.Deployment.RemoteDeploymentHelper.InstallServiceInternal(String serviceSourcePath, String serviceName, String destinationFileName) at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Services.DevTestLabs.Deployment.Deployment.RemoteDeploymentHelper.InstallService(String serviceSourcePath, String serviceName, String destinationFileName) at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Services.DevTestLabs.Deployment.Deployment.DeploymentClient.d__24.MoveNext() ---> (Inner Exception #0) System.Management.Automation.RemoteException: Exception calling "SetRight" with "2" argument(s): "Could not obtain the user information."<--- Deployment status for machine 'bgsovswops.eu.hpecorp.net:5985' : 'Failed' ##[error], MethodInvocationException\r\n FullyQualifiedErrorId :Exception\r\n"}};] ##[error]System.Management.Automation.RuntimeException: Failed to install 'VisualStudioRemoteDeployer3e199746-ae71-4ba0-a2ef-f5ce8f25a631' from service executable path VisualStudioRemoteDeployer.exe .

When I go to the remote machine, I succesfully execute the 'Invoke-Expression' on the C:...\script.ps1.
Also, I successfully connect from the local machines' powerscript console to the remote machine.
Any suggestions appreciated.
