New Post: NoCountdown Reposition for Restart prompt with Countdown

I'd like to say yes as we've always tried to accommodate feature requests but we're both short on time at the moment, so feel free to post it under the "Issues" tab as a feature request but I can't promise we'll get around to it soon.

Commented Unassigned: Feature Request: -LogOnly switch for Write-Log [66]

Can a -LogOnly switch for Write-Log be added at some point? Or is there another way already?
We'd like to log some things straight to the log to not overwhelm the user at the screen.

Thanks

(BTW: The zipped log files feature is growing on me. I'm trying to sell it to the rest of the group)


Comments: My loging function can do both regular logs and CMTrace/Trace32 logs. CMTrace/Trace32 format is the same. CMTrace I think is a more stable program than Trace32. Take what you like from my function and mix and match with the function included in the deployment toolkit.

New Post: Show-InstallationRestartPrompt with no users logged in

Howdy. I need my app to reboot at the end of my script and I love Show-InstallationRestartPrompt for the "restart later" option; However, if no user is logged in, the reboot simply never happens. What's a better way to reboot a computer with no users logged in while still maintaining the Show-InstallationRestartPrompt for logged in users? Currently I use this:
Show-InstallationRestartPrompt -CountdownSeconds 500 -CountdownNoHideSeconds 120

Thanks!

This has already been brought up in a previous post, but it was not the primary topic:

Previous Topic

So I wanted to start a new one to continue this topic without disrupting the other subject.

We use a special AD OU for Machines that cannot have the "Interactive" installation and must go silently. At this time I am using 2 separate installations, would it be possible to add a query in this script, that if that machine resides in the AD OU to do the silent installation? Not all machines would have the AD Module running, but I did manage to find a way to fun it without.
$filter = "(&(objectCategory=computer)(objectClass=computer)(cn=$env:COMPUTERNAME))"
([adsisearcher]$filter).FindOne().Properties.distinguishedname

Liquid_Venom,

Using the beta v4, I would suggest you implement as follows - modify the default Deploy-Application.ps1 template and just before the Variables: Environmnent section, add
$filter = "(&(objectCategory=computer)(objectClass=computer)(cn=$env:COMPUTERNAME))"
$dn = ([adsisearcher]$filter).FindOne().Properties.distinguishedname
If ($dn -match "<Insert your OU name here>") { $deployMode = "NonInteractive" )
This must be done before the main App Deploy Toolkit is dotSourced.

Hope this helps.

Dan
When attempting to run this, I receive the following errors:
Exception calling "FindOne" with "0" argument(s): "An operations error occurred.
"
At line:1 char:38
+$dn = ([adsisearcher]$filter).FindOne <<<< ().Properties.distinguishedname
+CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m quite sure the Filter for .FindOne was properly defined?

In case anybody else finds themselves in a dilemma like mine, here's the solution I came up with:
$info = gwmi -class win32_computerSystem -ea silentlycontinue | Select-Object username
if ($info.username.Length -gt 0){
Show-InstallationRestartPrompt -CountdownSeconds 500 -CountdownNoHideSeconds 120
}
else { 
Execute-Process "Shutdown" -Arguments "/R /F /T 10"

This is in my Post-Installation Phase.

Can you try with the following line change?

I suspect using the ComputerName variable needs to be encapsulated

Hmmm, doesn't seem to like the variable. Here's the line I use which works perfectly:
Execute-Process -FilePath "$dirFiles\consolesetup.exe" -Arguments "/q TargetDir=`"C:\Program Files\ConfigMgr Console`" EnableSQM=1 DefaultSiteServerName=MySCCMServer"
Modify as needed and try again.

I am trying to bold the app name display at the initial prompt, because it is not easily seen. I know at line 2871 in AppDeployToolKitMain.ps1 is the call that displays the English WelcomeMessage and App Title. I've already added an additional "'n" to bring it down another line which helps. How do I go about doing this. I know in adding this to the form:

[code]
$LabelAppName.Font = "Arial, 10pt ,style=Bold"
[/code]

makes the whole string bold, I just want the app name bold. Any ideas?

Hey Paul,

I've not tried this myself, but it should work. Create two deployment types - both identical (same detections, requirements content, command-line etc) with two differences:
  • DT #1 - Install for User
  • DT #2 - Install for System, Only when no user is logged in
The toolkit will detect whether it's running as User or System and display the UI accordingly.

Hope this helps. Dan
Hey Dan, I tried using this method and what ended up happening is that it always chose the 1st deployment type, but the appenforce log file shows that it's waiting for the user to logon, and once the user logs on, it then starts the install from dt 1.

Excellent! That was indeed the fix, however, this does not seem to be working as I have tested it on multiple machines with a simple test Application - the new release of Java. I followed your advise on the line placement and it is as follows.
# Variables: Script - Do not modify this section

$deployAppScriptFriendlyName = "Deploy Application"
$deployAppScriptVersion = [version]"3.1.4"
$deployAppScriptDate = "06/10/2014"
$deployAppScriptParameters = $psBoundParameters

#Variables: Critical OU
$filter = "(&(objectCategory=computer)(objectClass=computer)(cn=$($env:COMPUTERNAME)))"
$dn = ([adsisearcher]$filter).FindOne().Properties.distinguishedname
If ($dn -match "CN=$env:COMPUTERNAME,OU=Critical,OU=-Devices,DC=###,DC=###,DC=com") { $deployMode -eq "Silent" }


# Variables: Environment
$scriptDirectory = Split-Path -Parent $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Definition
# Dot source the App Deploy Toolkit Functions
."$scriptDirectory\AppDeployToolkit\AppDeployToolkitMain.ps1"
It is still installing as Interactive on the machines that I have verified as in that particular OU. Below is what I've copied from the Install.log

Howdy,
    I've been deploying IE8 to a few thousand workstations and have found 2 machines so far that keep displaying the block message "Launching this application has been temporarily blocked sot hat an installation operation can complete" whenever a user launches IE8 even after a successful install and reboot.  Can you tell me if there's a simple change I can make on these few machines this happens on?
