401 Not Authorized For MSDEPLOY (msdeployAgentService)
When you get this error from msdeploy:
“Error: The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.”
you need to give the remote user elevated rights to get authorization.

You are a god amongst men. I was trying to web deploy to Windows 7 with RemoteAgent and getting “An unsupported response was received. The response header ‘MSDeploy.Response’ was ‘V1’ but ‘v1’ was expected. The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.” and this fixed it. Thank you so so so much.

Why is there no hint doing that in the documentations from Microsoft?

This worked for me. I tried various combinations of msdeploy.adx, msdeployagentservice, http, https, windows auth, windows + iis auth, etc.
My settings from VS2012 to a Windows 7 Server
Publish Method: Web Deploy
Service URL: http://IPOnLocalVPN/msdeployagentservice
Site / Application: Default Web Service/myApp
User Name: MachineName\Admin
Password: blah
Pretty agonizing that all of the MS documentation fails to mention this little key. I guess my naive question is this a fail in the documentation, or a workaround because I didn’t do something else? (Keeping in mind that I worked on this connection problem for about 7 hours as an IIS noob, and read ~20 different articles from different sources on Web Deploy and then error remediation).
Blech.
