I'm currently having an issue on my dev box (thankfully) where I am unable to deploy any solutions. I have tried 1 MS and 2 3rd party solutions. I can add them to the store fine, when I deploy them it sets the timer job seemingly OK. When I check the deployment using enumdeployments it shows status as failed. I get no errors in the event log so I'm stumped on how to proceed.

Mikey, Were those Deployment solutions working successfully in the Timer Job Status page? Are those custom built WSPs that you are trying to deploy? If yes, then check the event logs on that box to know the errors related to Timer Job and report here for further assistanceBR, PM

What will you see if you click the solution name in the solution management page (Central Administration > Operations > Solution Management) to open Solution Properties page? Can you find error in SharePoint ULS log? Can you click the Retract Solution button on the solution property page to retract the problematic solution? If you deploy or retract timer job failed to run, please try stsadm –o execadmsvcjobs on every WFE. I had tested on my system, if I stopped the SharePoint Administration service (spadmin) in Services.msc, I will fail to retract the solution. I need to start the spadmin and run stsadm –o execadmsvcjobs to fix the retraction.

Bah, I just figured it out. I had setup this server to test adding a 2nd WFE and doing NLB. Checking the timer status page showed it deploying fine to our original WFE but failing on the new one. Thanks for the help guys!
