How to deploy all farm solutions in PowerShell?

Question

Please tell me how to write a Powershell script that will deploy all added farm solutions.

Answer 1

The best solution is to use a script that will add the solutions to the SharePoint farm, and deploy them by selecting web application you want to install the script.

Follow those links:

Answer 2

finally i made the following script which will redeploy all the 200 info-path forms in share-point 2010 which was stucked on deploying because of stopped Timer Service

Remove-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -erroraction SilentlyContinue
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -erroraction SilentlyContinue

$forms=Get-SPSolution | ? {($_.Name -like "form-*") -and ($_.Deployed -eq $false)}

foreach($Solution in $forms)    {
    if(($Solution -ne $null) -and ($Solution.ContainsWebApplicationResource){
        Install-SPSolution -identity $Solution.SolutionId  -AllwebApplications -GACDeployment -Force -Confirm:$false
    }
    else    {
        Install-SPSolution -identity $Solution.SolutionId   -GACDeployment -Force -Confirm:$false
    }
}

you may need to cancel all stuck in deploying jobs (or installing in infoPath Form management area) with below similar scipt

 Get-SPTimerJob | ? {$_.Name -like "Solution-Deployment*" } | % { $_.Delete() }
