Hello,
We are trying to migrate from 3.x to 4.x, previously in 3.x we have modified the AppDeployToolkitMain.ps1 to include datetime picker option to users to allow them to select a particular date they want to defer to (within acceptable number of days). I see that that we cannot do that in 4.x, will this kind of feature available in 4.x in future or what are our options here when migrating to 4.x?
The best place to ask for new features is GitHub at Issues · PSAppDeployToolkit/PSAppDeployToolkit
BTW: Since v4 lets Intune/MECM/etc. handle the installation retry, you will have to propose how to make this work behind the scenes. E.G.: how does the installation get triggered on that date and where it would be installing from?
Currently we are dependent on task scheduler to run at the specific date and time use chooses.
This is something we'll never support or allow in PSAppDeployToolkit as you shouldn't be bypassing or defeating your app deployment solution such as MECM or Intune. If someone makes an extension module to provide this, that's their prerogative, but it won't ever be first party.
I'm sorry, but whoever said "yeah we can do that" on your side should have simply said no to such a request.
@Priyanka_Ravi, looks like you will have to create your own solution but at least you have your v3.x solution to build on.
I saw similar discussion in the link [Feature] Let Show-ADTInstallationWelcome return deferral choice. · Issue #1747 · PSAppDeployToolkit/PSAppDeployToolkit · GitHub. This gave me some insight. So we will work on something similar to this or wait for the feature to come out in future updates
We'll add an OnDefer callback hookpoint into 4.2.0, it'll let you run custom code upon deferral. Have a look at Add-ADTModuleCallback to read about the system.
