# Dynamic OSD Application List
|
|
Allows for the dynamic installation of applications during a MDT task sequence.
|
|
|
|
Run the Update-MDTApplicationXML.ps1 and provide the path to the Applications.xml within the control folder inside the MDT deployment share.
|
|
|
|
This will make the application object specific adjustments to support the script that runs during the task sequence. It is totally safe and will not cause disruptive issues.
|
|
|
|
Updates the MDT Applications.xml file to support the functionality built into the Invoke-OSDApplicationList.ps1 powershell script.
|
|
|
|
Just refresh the 'Applications' view within the MDT Deployment Workbench after executing this script and make any application specific adjustments as needed.
|
|
|
|
Sort the application(s) by the version column within the MDT Deployment Workbench to see the order in which the applications would be installed by the task sequence.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Updates the 'Version' property of each application with the installation order (Will be based on creation date initially, but can be adjusted according to any specific needs.
|
|
Updates the 'Language' property of each application within the Applications.xml with a powershell based condition that will determine if the application will be installed during a task sequence.
|
|
|
|
To install in all cases, just simply use "$True" without the quotes.
|
|
To skip in all cases, just simply use "$False" without the quotes.
|
|
|
|
Setting the right mixture of condition and installation order will provide a super smooth and consistent installation experience.
|
|
|
|
Example: VMWare Tools
|
|
Installation Order = 1
|
|
Condition = ($ComputerSystem.Manufacturer -imatch '.*VM.*Ware.*')
|
|
This would ensure that VMWare Tools gets installed first only VMWare virtual machines.
|
|
|
|
Any variable that will be available during the execution of the Invoke-OSDApplicationList.ps1 powershell script can be used within a condition.
|
|
|
|
Dynamically creates 'MandatoryApplicationXXX' task sequence variables with the GUIDs of MDT application objects to install on a device during operating system deployment.
|
|
|
|
Individual applications or entire application folders can be disabled to exclude the application(s) from being considered by the script during deployment.
|
|
|
|
Application(s) that have already been installed by the task sequence whose GUID is stored within a 'InstalledApplicationsXXX' variable will be skipped if this script is executed multiple times during a task sequence. |
