Hi Inedo community,

we are currently evaluating BuildMaster for running our deployments of mostly .NET (ASP) based software to our Windows servers with IIS.

Right now we are missing an option to define and later select a specific deployment target on a server.

Let's say we have the same kind of software running for three different customers, each having a test and a production system, but having only two servers:

Server 1:

• Customer A - production
• Customer A - test

Server 2:

• Customer B - production
• Customer B - test
• Customer C - production
• Customer C - test

For each of these systems we have an IIS application pool and an application directory (and maybe some other configurations) that we need to define in variables somehow.

How can we model this in BuildMaster, so that we can define the variables and scripts once and then just deploy a software release to either all production systems, all test systems or just a single one out of all these systems?

We know that there is an option to assign variables to a server, but then we would need to register a server multiple times, once for each system that is running there and always with different variables.

Maybe we are missing an option or even a whole concept in BuildMaster? It would be nice if someone could help us get on track regarding the scenario described above.

Thank you very much in advance!
