I have tried a release using webdeploy and release management for visual studio 2013. Configured the release based on the steps in http://www.colinsalmcorner.com/post/webdeploy-and-release-management--the-proper-way . When i started release, it is showing "Pending" status for hours. Don't know what is happening. How i can find the real issue behind this? Is there any detailed log or any debugging methods in release management..?? I am new to release management, please help me....!!!!

This is not an issue specific to web deploy -- it's an issue with the deployer communicating with RM. Have you ever had a successful deployment using RM to this server before? – Daniel Mann Jun 17 '14 at 21:21

@DanielMann thanks for the response. I successfully deployed earlier with xcopy deployer in RM client. But when i tried webdeploy this issue is happening. After that even xcopy is not working...!! – Sreekanth Mohan Jun 18 '14 at 04:45

1Try restarting the deployment agent service ("Microsoft Deployment Agent") on the target server, as well as the Release Management Monitor service on the RM server. – Daniel Mann Jun 18 '14 at 12:16

Already restarted "Microsoft Deployment Agent" but no use. Will restart "Release Management Monitor service" and will see... thanks @DanielMann – Sreekanth Mohan Jun 18 '14 at 12:28

1When i restarted "Release Management Monitor" service, it was showing my license expired..!! I wasted my time on this issue. I have installed a licensed version, will check same scenario and will update you gays..!! – Sreekanth Mohan Jul 15 '14 at 16:47

@DanielMann I restarted "Release Management Monitor service", then only it was showing my license expired. Already reinstalled it, will try this once again and will update you guys.. Thanks for the responses...! – Sreekanth Mohan Jul 21 '14 at 15:19

Check the Event Log on the RM server. When I had this problem, there were constant errors with a source of "Release Management Services" – kevinpo Feb 10 '16 at 14:59

My RM license was expired and it was not showing any warning messages on the expiration. When i restarted "Release Management Monitor" service, it was showing license expired..!!!
I reinstalled RM and the issue has been resolved...!

I got the same issue, then I solved it removing all items from Release Template and adding them back afterwards.

For me, @DanielMann 's comment about restarting the Microsoft Deployment Agent service on the target server was the solution.
