Scripted Import and Deployment of an App-V Package
​
The following script provides a fully automated import of an App-V Package into ConfigMgr with the following actions:
-
Imports App-V Package as a ConfigMgr application.
-
Creates a AD Group for the clients to be added to
-
Create a Collection for Installation with a AD Group query
-
Create a Collection for software removal based on Compliance, queries for the software and removes application when the installation is no longer being applied.
-
Distributes the application to the a DP Group
-
Creates Install and Uninstall deployments and assigns to the corresponding Collection.
​
There are 2 remaining tasks, add the clients to the AD Group for software deployment and update the application with OS requirements.
