I am retracting a globally deployed solution via Central Administration. Here is the info
Name: familycareprl.wsp
Type: Core Solution
Contains Web Application Resource: No
Contains Global Assembly: Yes
Contains Code Access Security Policy: No
Deployment Server Type: Front-end Web server
Deployment Status: Retracting(scheduled at 10/2/2011 7:04 PM )
Deployed To: Globally deployed.
What i don't understand is why the retraction is not immediate....it basically just sits there indicating that it is retracting. I'm used to quick retraction via Visual Studio. I have also run stsadm -o execadmsvcjobs to see if that would speed it up but it just sits there. Couple notes. It was deployed through powershell using
Add-SPSolution c:\familycareprl.wsp
Install-SPSolution -identity familycareprl.wsp -GACDeployment (had to leave off the URL for it to work)
I initially forgot to deactivate the features before attempting the retract. They are now deactivated.
Any help?
EDIT
Did a stsadm -o enumdeployments and got this
<Deployments Count="1">
<Deployment JobId="daa0d839-af5a-401b-baa4-7bbda2d3f2b3">

What does this mean? Why can i log into Central Admin and use Powershell (i am db_owner/db_securityadmin on the content database and config database). Can anyone tell me what i need to ask my IT guy to do?
