I have about a dozen windows service which I need to deploy fairly frequently to a fairly large collection of nodes. I was looking at Octopus Deploy which seemed pretty good but I was wondering what other options there might be. I really need to be able to keep track of what versions of the software are deployed where and when so I'm looking for something a bit more than just powershelling in and deploying. I've looked at Deploying C# Windows Service in multiple servers but I would eat an entire pint of Ben and Jerry's before I use an MSI.

I also have a bunch of web sites which it would be really good if I could roll them out with the same solution.

Why the hate against an MSI? If you used an MSI you could deploy against the servers using AD.

I once had a job where I had to use InstallShield. It was terrible. Also I really like Ben and Jerry's so it isn't that much hate. – stimms Oct 6 '11 at 1:45
LOL, hey don't get me wrong. Ben and Jerry's is pretty awesome. I'm all over hating on MSI if I get Ben and Jerry's for it. – mrdenny♦ Oct 6 '11 at 5:45

If you don't have anything against running an ssh server on each of your target servers you could use kwateeSDCM to deploy your services.
