I had this problem a few days back and I had all the options in the stsadm command to deploy it immediately, like -immediate and stsadm -o execadmsvcjobs
Apparently it was the problem with one of the servers in the server farm was down. Since the faulty server is there in the server farm, STSADM gets stuck at "Deploying" , "Retracting" and is waiting to complete the deployment on that server. These conditions usually applying to load balanced configurations in the server farm.
Options
- Remove the faulty server from the farm and then try deploying again.
- Fix the server and try deploying.
