Is it possible to connect azure pipelines to on premise servers?

Question

I'm migrating from Jenkins, Bitbucket, and Jira to Azure DevOps. I would like to use azure pipelines and connect on my on-premise server, deploy my application, run SonarQube, etc

I've tried to run a local agent on my machine, but I couldn't run a deploy.

Solved:
It's possible.
All you need is a self-hosted agent and a deployment group. In my pipeline build I used the following tasks:
MSBuild@1
PublishBuildArtifacts@1
Then in Release Pipeline:
IIS Deployment

You can configure self hosted agent. what did you try and what is "couldn't run a deploy"? — Shayki Abramczyk
I couldn't figure out how to run MSBuild by cmd as administrator using Azure pipelines — Guilherme Bordallo
Why you should run as administrator? please share you build pipeline and which error you got. — Shayki Abramczyk

I was trying to deploy using cmd. Now I'm trying using the tasks. Error: Job Job: Step references task 'IISWebAppDeploymentOnMachineGroup' at version '0.0.56' which is not valid for the given job target. PipeLine : gist.github.com/BordalloG/7aa6d98d746c8b856e46a48ae1aa9c0a — Guilherme Bordallo

You will need to run a deployment agent on-premises if you want to be able to deploy to servers that you have.

With that said, when you ran through the configuration did you setup the local agent you created in a pool? Did you assign the local agent to a build group and deployment group?

Did you follow the steps here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/agents/v2-windows?view=azure-devops
