To solve this issue I navigated to
J:\DeployablePackages\432bcfed-4a5e-4b32-8e50-4aff2033e323\AOSService\Packages\files\ and
J:\AosService\PackagesLocalDirectory\SystemHealth and changed properties of these folders. Removed the read only flag and clicked on apply. It will ask for admin rights and if you check again the read only flag is still partely there. A resume of the package deployment worked well.

D365fO | OData - An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host 10054

As soon as you connect to 2 Tier environments SAT or PROD environments you should keep in mind to connect using TLS 1.2. The easiest way to do this is compiling with .Net 4.6 or higher

If you are using the sample service scripts you can just add the following line of code into OAuthHelper.cs


         public static string GetAuthenticationHeader()
        {
            string aadTenant = ClientConfiguration.Default.ActiveDirectoryTenant;
            string aadClientAppId = ClientConfiguration.Default.ActiveDirectoryClientAppId;
            string aadResource = ClientConfiguration.Default.ActiveDirectoryResource;

            AuthenticationContext authenticationContext = new AuthenticationContext(aadTenant);
            AuthenticationResult authenticationResult;

            // TLS 1.2
            System.Net.ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = System.Net.SecurityProtocolType.Tls12;

           
            if (useWebAppAuthentication)
            {
                string aadClientAppSecret = ClientConfiguration.Default.ActiveDirectoryClientAppSecret;
                var creadential = new ClientCredential(aadClientAppId, aadClientAppSecret);
                authenticationResult = authenticationContext.AcquireTokenAsync(aadResource, creadential).Result;
            }
            else
            {
                // OAuth through username and password.
                string username = ClientConfiguration.Default.UserName;
                string password = ClientConfiguration.Default.Password;

                // Get token object
                var userCredential = new UserPasswordCredential(username, password);
                authenticationResult = authenticationContext.AcquireTokenAsync(aadResource, aadClientAppId, userCredential).Result;
            }

            // Create and get JWT token
            return authenticationResult.CreateAuthorizationHeader();
