powershell or msdeploy

I am running into a situation where I need to find a better approach to deploy web applications (asp.net to iis6..sorry ruby lovers :( and I was curious what some of you have done? I have seen products out there (Anthill?) but I am really looking for a way that my operations team can script a way to grab zip files (packaged code and assemblies), unzip, deploy to a farm. Anyone have any thoughts or solutions that they may be using?

Also from VS 2010 standpoint, MSdeploy will be integrated into IDE so that would certainly be the direction to go... Check out Overview Post for Web Deployment in VS 2010.

Supposedly, MSDeploy ships with a PowerShell snapin and cmdlets... so you shouldn't have to choose.

The bad news is, I can't find that snapin on my system ;)

You mention a tool that Microsoft has in Beta, msdeploy.exe. Is that not a good choice for you?

On IIS6, the state of the art was adsutil.vbs, iisweb.vbs, iisback.vbs, iiscnfg.vbs, and iisext.vbs or learning an arcane script programming model for IIS.

I think msdeploy will be a large step up from wrapping those primitive utils with powershell and other scripts or batch files, with its "syncing" approach.
