Powershell to deploy wsp scoped at web application

Question

We have created several wsps and each wsp have 1 or more feature. In test environment we deploy the projects via VS. But, for production we are thinking of doing it the powershell way.

I am new to powershell and started from this link.

Add-SPSolution "D:\Deploy\MySharePointSolution.wsp"
Install-SPSolution –Identity MySharePointSolution.wsp –WebApplication http://myspwebapp –GACDeployment

My question is:

There is one wsp with feature scoped at web application level. And above method it install it seems to be targetting the one webapplication URL. I want it to be available for all web applications and not just one URL. Is this possible in powershell?

I want to deploy this WSP to the FARM and not to one particular web application. This way all web apps will be able to activate and use it.

Answer 1

Use the -AllWebApplications flag to deploy it to all existing web applications. See: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff607534(v=office.15).aspx

Note that Web Apps created afterwards do not automatically have this solution packaged deployed.
