Hi all,
I’ve written this script to automate adding applications into SCCM. I found it a boring job at the best of times, so i thought lets automate this ! Its not fully completed, need to add some comments and help to it, but i feel that its an average script, no magic in it. This is what i mean about hitting the next level. What could i do better or using less code ? Am i using the right commands for what i want to do ? Any guidance would be great.
usage:
Add-SCCMApplication -ApplicationName "AppName" -Version "1.0" -Publisher "Microsoft" -InstallerDetectionScriptFilePath "Install method provided"
The detection.txt file just contains a registry path to test against.
It all works but want to know if i can make it better and learn at the same time.
function Add-SCCMApplication {
[CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess=$True,
ConfirmImpact='High')]
Param(
[Parameter(Mandatory=$false)]
[string]$Folder,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$false)]
[string]$Publisher,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$false)]
[string]$ApplicationName,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$false)]
[string]$Version,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$false)]
[string]$InstallerDetectionScriptFilePath
