'Error message "The device is not ready" when running Azure devops release pipeline
I have moved a website to a new on-prem server and I'm currently trying to make CI/CD work. The release pipeline was already configured since we have been using Azure devops for years. So the only thing I needed to do was to register the new server in the development group. I ran the registration script, added the proper tags and didn't set a specific account for the Windows service so the default account NT Authorization\System was used. The problem is that when a release is triggered, the service doesn't seem to be able to list the site as part of the Manage IISwebsite task. It throws a weird error "The device is not ready". It does though manage to change the apppool. See the logs below:
I have ran the command myself directly on the server using my admin account and it works just fine. The NT Authorization\System is a super user and should have all rights granted by default as well, so I'm a bit clueless here.. Does anybody have any ideas, suggestions? What am I missing?
Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem. In my case the error message was misleading.
It turned out that the Physical path in the release pipeline was wrong. It worked after I changed it to the correct one.
