I have a development WSS 3.0 site that I wanted to move to a Production server. I am using VSeWSS 1.2 to do my deployment. I generated the SharePoint solution of the site with SharePoint Solution Generator 2008. When deploying it locally it works fine, but when I tried to deploy it to the remote Production server it would not deploy.
I then had to install VS and the VSeWSS on the Production server and deploy from there because of time constraints. I have seen references where the generated SharePoint solutions are able to deploy fine to remote servers.
What strategies should be used to effectively deploy SharePoint solutions to remote servers with the generated SharePoint solutions when using SharePoint Solution Generator 2008 in VSeWSS 1.2?

To my knowledge, THe solution generator works only on local machine. You can then package the resulting Visual Studio solution in a WSP file and deploy that to the server using STSADM.
