Parameters

Parameter (short name)	Value	Required?	Description
name	A valid name of the solution in the solution store, such as “SampleSolution.wsp”	Yes	Enables the administrator to specify the name of a solution inside of the solution store.
url	A valid URL, such as http://server_name	No	URL location of a virtual server
allcontenturls	<none>	No	Equivalent to deploying the package to all nonadministrative virtual servers that are in the farm.
time	A valid date:time format that is culture-specific to the administrative language, such as “2/16/2007 12:15:12”	The time parameter is not required if either the immediate or local parameter is specified. Otherwise, the time parameter is required.	Enables the administrator to schedule the time that the deployment should occur. If the date time does not parse correctly, the following error message is displayed: "‘<time user entered>’ is not a valid time format. Deployment was not initiated."
immediate	<none>	No	Causes the deployment to occur immediately after the command is executed.
local	<none>	The local parameter is not required if either the immediate or time parameter is specified. Otherwise, the local parameter is required.	Deploys the solution synchronously on the local computer only. The timer service is not used. A developer must specify the immediate, local, or time parameter. If one of these is not specified, the following error message is displayed: "Deployment type was not specified. You must specify a deployment to just this server (-local), to all servers in the farm (-immediate), or a delayed deployment to all servers in the farm (-time)."
allowgacdeployment (allowgac)	<none>	No	If the solution contains assemblies that need to be put in a global assembly cache (GAC), this parameter must be specified. Otherwise, the following error message is displayed: "The solution '<solution name>' needs to install assemblies in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC). If you fully trust this solution, use the -allowgacdeployment parameter to deploy."
allowcaspolicies (allowcas)	<none>	No	If the solution contains Code Access Security (CAS) policies, this parameter must be specified. Otherwise, the following error message is displayed: "The solution '<solution name>' needs to add Code Access Security policies. If you fully trust this solution, use the -allowcaspolicies parameter to deploy."
lcid	A valid locale ID, such as "1033" for English	No	Specifies a language for the Web Part package when a Web Part package is deployed. If this parameter is not specified, zero ("0") is assumed. A zero means that the Web Part package should be deployed as being language agnostic.
force	<none>	No	Forces deployment of a solution that, when deployed, will overwrite files that have been written by a solution that has a different recorded solution ID.
