Command Line

There are a number of things that can be done with the command line by executing the PDQDeployService.exe executable file.

Start Deployments

It is possible to initiate deployments on the command line allowing third party scheduling tools to be used to start deployments. In order to start a deployment a Schedules first needs to be created using the Console.

In order to deploy the package, run the PDQDeployService.exe with the "deploy" argument and the ID of the schedule which is available at the bottom of the Schedule Window.

PDQDeployService.exe deploy schedule=55

That's it, the deployment will start just as though it was started from a schedule or through the console.

Note  The user must be a member of the local administrator's group in order to deploy from the command line.

Restart

Restart the service.

PDQDeployService.exe restart

This is the same as running:

net stop PDQDeploy
net start PDQDeploy
