write it down as

Correct way:- http://(server):(port)

Incorrect way:- http://(server):(port)/ReleaseManagement

Do not write "/ReleaseManagement/" or any other URL segments after . This will solve your problem.

Logging in as the shadow account may not be possible depending on how you setup the service account. Release Management site uses windows authentication so if you setup your credentials in Credential Manager on the agent server that will work. Just specify the fully qualified domain name for your Release Management server and your domain credentials for the RM server's domain.

Finally the issue has been resolved by logging in as shadow account. Changed RM server name with IP in MS deployment agent....!! enter image description here

Thank you very much @Daniel Mann for the tips you have provided.
