how to deploy .wsp to all servers in the Sharepoint 2007 Farm

Question

What is the stsadm -o command for deploying .wsp solution file into all servers in the SharePoint 2007 Farm?

My second question is: How i can check with already deployed .wsp solution if it is deployed on single server or on all servers in the farm?

Answer 1

This is two step Process:

First you have to Add the solution into Farm

stsadm.exe -o addsolution -filename yoursolutionpackage.wsp

Second, You have to deploy it.

stsadm -o deploysolution -name yoursolutionpackagename.wsp -url http://sp-mach/ -local  -force

Answer 2

stsadm -o addsolution -filename C:\solution.wsp

This is from a farm level, so it applies to the entire farm, whether you have one server or 10 servers. There is a page in Central Admininstration -> Operations -> Solution Management that will tell you the deployment state of all the solutions in the farm and whether or not they were deployed to a specific web application(s) or globally.
