I downloaded fresh template PSADT 4.1.0 with MSI zero config so I just did not fill the AppName info etc. and in moment of deployment via intune (as Required, per device) the default Auto deploymode is not working for me. It's not showing user notifications when the installation is started in system context. (of course I converted it to intunewin, I have a good requirement script and detectionMethod script as well) System context works if I use Invoke-AppDeployToolkit.exe -DeploymentType Install -DeployMode Silent (of course without notification) However the notification does not work in system context when I use Invoke-AppDeployToolkit.exe (it should start the script in AutoMode) or Invoke-AppDeployToolkit.exe -DeploymentType Install -DeployMode Interactive or Invoke-AppDeployToolkit.exe -DeploymentType Install -DeployMode Auto. These cases works if I create a new package in user context then the user notification works with deferals, deferdeadline but it will force installation probably only when user is logged in. As I understand the DeployMode Auto should work even if I will deploy the package in system context and it will recognize if user is logged in with active process (show user notification) or noone is logged in and the package will be installed/upgraded silently without user interaction. Please correct me if I am wrong. Btw. as a test device I am using W365 VDI, maybe it's reading the profile in a wrong way and it cannot recognize properly if someone is logged with active process(of the old software version). I did not test it on physical device yet but it's my observation.
Script:
<#
.SYNOPSIS
PSAppDeployToolkit - This script performs the installation or uninstallation of an application(s).
.DESCRIPTION
- The script is provided as a template to perform an install, uninstall, or repair of an application(s).
- The script either performs an "Install", "Uninstall", or "Repair" deployment type.
- The install deployment type is broken down into 3 main sections/phases: Pre-Install, Install, and Post-Install.
The script imports the PSAppDeployToolkit module which contains the logic and functions required to install or uninstall an application.
.PARAMETER DeploymentType
The type of deployment to perform.
.PARAMETER DeployMode
Specifies whether the installation should be run in Interactive (shows dialogs), Silent (no dialogs), NonInteractive (dialogs without prompts) mode, or Auto (shows dialogs if a user is logged on, device is not in the OOBE, and there's no running apps to close).
Silent mode is automatically set if it is detected that the process is not user interactive, no users are logged on, the device is in Autopilot mode, or there's specified processes to close that are currently running.
.PARAMETER SuppressRebootPassThru
Suppresses the 3010 return code (requires restart) from being passed back to the parent process (e.g. SCCM) if detected from an installation. If 3010 is passed back to SCCM, a reboot prompt will be triggered.
.PARAMETER TerminalServerMode
Changes to "user install mode" and back to "user execute mode" for installing/uninstalling applications for Remote Desktop Session Hosts/Citrix servers.
.PARAMETER DisableLogging
Disables logging to file for the script.
.EXAMPLE
powershell.exe -File Invoke-AppDeployToolkit.ps1
.EXAMPLE
powershell.exe -File Invoke-AppDeployToolkit.ps1 -DeployMode Silent
.EXAMPLE
powershell.exe -File Invoke-AppDeployToolkit.ps1 -DeploymentType Uninstall
.EXAMPLE
Invoke-AppDeployToolkit.exe -DeploymentType Install -DeployMode Silent
.INPUTS
None. You cannot pipe objects to this script.
.OUTPUTS
None. This script does not generate any output.
.NOTES
Toolkit Exit Code Ranges:
- 60000 - 68999: Reserved for built-in exit codes in Invoke-AppDeployToolkit.ps1, and Invoke-AppDeployToolkit.exe
- 69000 - 69999: Recommended for user customized exit codes in Invoke-AppDeployToolkit.ps1
