Teamcity and msdeploy using powershell - powershell

Question

I developed a powershell script that accepts a buncha parameters, creates an MSDeploy string, and executes it. I've tested this powershell command:
It works on my local box (installs the web app from my local box to
a remote IIS server)
It works on the TeamCity box (installs the web
app from team city's folder structure to remote iis server)
problem:
It doesn't work when I run the command from teamcity's browser version.
The error is: ERROR_USER_NOT_ADMIN
Please note, my Teamcity Build Agent is a local admin on both my teamcity server and IIS Remote server
Powreshell Source Code:
$msDeploy = 'C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS\Microsoft Web Deploy V3\msdeploy.exe'
$sourcePackage = $args[0]
$paramFile = $args[1]
$iisAppPath = $args[2]
$servername = $args[3]
$usreName = $args[4]
$password = $args[5]
$includeAcls = $args[6]
function UpdateParamFile($paramXMLFile, $applicationPath)
{
$doc = New-Object System.Xml.XmlDocument
$doc.Load($paramXMLFile)
#IIS Application Path (this is where the code will be deployed - it has to exist in target IIS):
$appPath = $doc.SelectSingleNode("//parameters//setParameter[#name = 'IIS Web Application Name']")
$appPath.value = $applicationPath
#Connection Strings:
#KDB Connection string:
#Save
$doc.Save($paramXMLFile)
#[xml] $xmlPars = Get-Content $paramXMLFile
#$xmlPars.parameters.setParameter | Where-Object { $_.name -eq 'IIS Web Application Name' } | select value
}
UpdateParamFile $paramFile $iisAppPath
$arguments = "-source:package=$sourcePackage", "-dest:auto,computerName=`"$servername`",userName=`"$usreName`",password=`"$password`",includeAcls=`"$includeAcls`"", "-setParamFile:$paramFile", '-verb:sync', '-disableLink:AppPoolExtension', '-disableLink:CertificateExtension', '-disableLink:ContentExtension'
&$msDeploy $arguments
Teamcity call to the above script file:

Answer 1

ERROR_USER_NOT_ADMIN
Diagnosis - This happens if you try to connect to the Remote Agent Service but
have not provided appropriate administrator credentials.
Resolution - The Remote Agent Service accepts either built-in Administrator or
Domain Administrator credentials. If you have a non-domain setup and want to
use account other that built-in administrator, please do following:
1. Create a separate user group MSDepSvcUsers on remote computer.
2. Create an local account A on both local & remote computer.
3. Add A to MSDepSvcUsers on remote computer.
4. Use account A to publish, this will allow you to publish without needing to
use built-in admin account.
