Accidently retracted two solutions, but timer is not running

Question

I've accidently retracted two solutions from the farm in WSS3 but luckily the timer is not running so the jobs did not run. Now when I go to Solution Management I see "Error" for their deployment statuses. I would like to retract the retraction so to speak and cancel the jobs so that when the timer does run, they do not get retracted. How can I do this?

Answer 1

There is no "cancel" method on SPSolution's.

If you still have the solution file(s) you can just add the solution again and re-i stall it. First you should start timer job and finish the retraction, and remove solutions though...

Answer 2

Just try this command in SharePoint Management Shell

stsadm -o execadmsvcjobs
