Select-ScheduledDeploy [-DeploymentTime] <DateTime> [-TimeZoneId] <String> [-VCData] <VersionControlledData> [[-Comment] <String>] [-PipelineVariable <String>] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm]

Example

$item = Get-Item "IE Settings"

Select-ScheduledDeploy -VCData $item -DeploymentTime "11/30/2016 12:00AM" -TimeZoneId "GMT Standard Time" -Comment "Scheduled for Nov 30th, 2016 GMT"
