MDT Deploy Applications

This aren't powershell script, but a collection of scripts I used for my MDT deployments. I figured it could be useful for others.

Project:

• This is part of my MDT automation Project

What it does:

I have all my MDT applications seperated into individual folders

• all have a source folder and config folder. Not all of them use a config folder.
• Some of the applications use an additional version folder.

Works on:

• MDT/SCCM integration
• This script (https://github.com/PowerShellCrack/Get3rdPartySoftware) will update the folder and script versions (see its list)
• Logs most applications to _SMSTSLogs\AppLogs

Steps:

1. Use 3rdPartyDownload script (https://github.com/PowerShellCrack/Get3rdPartySoftware) to download the software

2. Run MDTApplicationUpdater script (https://github.com/PowerShellCrack/MDTApplicationUpdater/tree/master) and point it to the place the first script downloaded the software to. This will update MDT's application.xml and corresponding wsf scripts versions NOTE: make sure your MDT application is labeled by the product name and architecture. eg. Java x64

Usage:

• Build MDT applications and use command: cscript Install-.wsf /arch:x64|x86

• the /arch parameter are used fro applications that has both architectrue versions available. For intance, you can install Office 2016 32-bit or 64-bit on a 64-bit Windows. I have a application that has both version, but in different folders. To sepecify the right folder with writing two scripts I use the /arch parameter.

• If no /arch parameter is specified, it will use the OS architecture variable and if that can't be determined (not using MDT/SCCM), it defaults to x86

   eg. cscript Install-Office.wsf /arch:x86
  

Future:

In time I want to get updates from all the 3rd party applications that I can think an enterprise use (including office updates)
