TFS Deployer - Marking builds as deployed in tfs 2012

TFS2012 allows you to mark builds as deployed, this is meant to work hand in hand with the azure deployment but I figured it should work with whatever TfsDeployer does too.

	Add-Type -AssemblyName 'Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client, Version=11.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'
	Add-Type -AssemblyName 'Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Client, Version=11.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'
	$tfs = New-Object -TypeName Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client.TfsTeamProjectCollection -ArgumentList $TfsServer
	try {
	$deployServiceType = [Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Client.DeploymentService]
	$deployService = $tfs.GetService($deployServiceType)
	$deployService.CreateBuildDeployment($Uri, $Uri, $Quality)
	}
	catch [Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Client.BuildServerException]
	{
	}

TFS always seems to throw an error afterwards which i haven't figured out quite yet, so i'm just wrapping it in a try/catch. Even if it didn't throw this exception, I think it will throw another one if you ever try mark the same build as deployed

This adds a new row in the "deployed" tab under builds in TFS 2012 web access (looks like visual studio doesn't support this quite yet).

It has a redeploy button which just triggers a new build, so it won't actually set the correct build quality to be auto deployed by tfs deployer.
