.NET deployment

[yamangman]

Does anyone have experience with deploying .NET apps and services? I have rolled out a solution for a company using cc.net in the past but I'm really after some advice from someone with a more rounded background.

I have several web sites/IIS-contained WCF services/programs and traditional windows services that require automated build/unit testing/integration testing and deployment on several off-site servers and cloud providers (including database upgrade and maintenance).

Currently I am happy that database management is handled via a managed code/scripted system that I have devised, but the other requirements remain.

Has anyone developed a solution in the past that fulfills some or all of these? I frequently delve into msbuild at a basic level but apart from using some basic msbuild and cc.net to acheive some simple automatic unit test/build/deploy I've had little experience with other (better?) systems.

Any advice appreciated.

cc.net being Cruise Control?

Unless you have a very detailed action I think it's fine for the most part, you could always write your own post test script to deploy

Thats what is going on at most places, post test on cc or TFS.

But then again I do my level best to not get involved with deployment, its like wading through treacle the larger the organisation is.
