Remote Server Deployment

Question

Hi All,

 

I have 2 servers in same LAN, one is Dev and other one is Test Server. i wanted to deploy *.wsp's into Test server by using powershell from Dev server remotely.

 

am unable to achieve this  within Dev server i can able to deploy for Dev server sites.

 

I script file is as below. 

 

#Deployment Scripts for Failover JOb#

function WaitForJobToFinish([string]$SolutionFileName)

{

$JobName = "*solution-deployment*$SolutionFileName*"

$job = Get-SPTimerJob | ?{ $_.Name -like $JobName }

if ($job -eq $null)

{

Write-Host 'Timer job not found'

}

else

{

$JobFullName = $job.Name

Write-Host -NoNewLine "Waiting to finish job $JobFullName"

while ((Get-SPTimerJob $JobFullName) -ne $null)

{

Write-Host -NoNewLine .

Start-Sleep -Seconds 2

}

Write-Host "Finished waiting for job.."

}

}
