IIS is not configured to point to default.aspx

I don't believe that's the case. Once you've enabled ASP.NET, here's what the default document section looks like in your applicationHost.config

        <defaultDocument enabled="true">
            <files>
                <add value="Default.htm" />
                <add value="Default.asp" />
                <add value="index.htm" />
                <add value="index.html" />
                <add value="iisstart.htm" />
                <add value="default.aspx" />
            </files>
        </defaultDocument>

It already has an entry for default.aspx.

It's not working that way, here was my scenario:

• Use Justin's template to create a VM and then add DNS to it
• Publish a Web Forms app from Visual Studio
• VS pops the browser to the root URL for the VM, I get the IIS page, not the default.aspx page

Ahh. I know what's happening. Default publish through VS enables the DoNotDeleteRule in WebDeploy which doesn't delete the iisstart.htm page at the destination.

I think the better solution is to nuke out the contents of the inetpub/wwwroot folder as part of the custom script
