Ansible recently started to support Windows: http://docs.ansible.com/intro_windows.html

I haven't used it yet on Windows, but it's good enough on unixes... And it's quite lightweight and easy to setup (it relies on python2 on *nix and powershell on windows)

It is a linux tool primarily, but I'm one of the comaintainers of the saltstack salt config management tool. It supports windows pretty well and we have plenty of users who use it on windows for their enterprise server deployments.

It can be used to replace deployment tools like capistrano and fabric on Linux. No reason it can't do the same on Windows if you grok it enough to use it.

You can use WebDeploy, here's a walkthrough for publishing ASP.NET Web Applications to AWS with WebDeploy which can also be automated with a Grunt task: https://github.com/ServiceStack/ServiceStack/wiki/Simple-Dep...
