How do I parse the output of msdeploy and fail the build if there are errors?
msdeploy.exe is excellent fro deploying ASP.Net projects to other servers but if suffers severely from always returning a 0 status on exit, even when it raises several errors.
So I need to parse the output and have that raise an error, is there an easy way to do this?
You can see from the build log below what is going on.

Rayn,
This is impossible now, feel free to submit feature request in our issue tracker.
Please try to provide as much details as possible.
What TeamCity does is starting MSBuild.exe to build the solution. There is no way to check if a task has failed or not.
You may write your own msbuild script wrapping your .sln file to check the outcome of the msdeploy.
