I've seen a couple of posts floating around requesting the need for both deployment and rollback of editions. Most of these posts said basically the same thing -- build a custom script in a menu. Well since none of the posts really gave any full source code I'd thought I'd share my code that I've recently finished.
You should be able to adapt this code without any problems in a Win2k/TeamSite 5.5 environment (it should work in TS 5.0.1 as well). I've outlined some basics below:
Attached Zip File: DeployEdition - TS 5.5.1 - Win2k.zip
Files:
deploy_edition.cgi (custom script run from menu)
deploy_edition.bat (batch file wrapper)
custom.css (style sheet)
opendeploy_targets.cfg (config file for open deploy targets)
Installation:1) Unzip and copy file to your TeamSite installation. The archive has path info stored in it based from the root of your TS installation. For me it is c:\iw-home\.
2) Add this line to your iw.cfg file under the [iwcgi] section:
custom_menu_item_deploy_edition="File", "Deploy Edition", "deploy_edition.bat", "master", "scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=500,height=140"
3) Modify the opendeploy_targets.cfg config to suit your needs. Check the comments out for help.
That's it. If you have an existing deployment solution, you will have to adapt the script.
If you need help, send me a msg at

Good luck.
