  • 1.  How to create a new software task -Newbie here

    Posted Nov 02, 2016 01:37 PM

    Hi All,

    Good day!

    I'm a newbie and I was given a task to create a task to package a software which is Remote Server Admin Tool.

    I already have the MSU and I need to create a New software install and to use the WSUS install command.

    I would like to seek for your help on this.

     

    Thanks in Advance.

    I would take a look at the link above.  Those articles go through Software Management Solution in a nutshell and then some.  You're going to have to decide how you want to deploy the RSAT package you will create.  Do you care if the machine is compliant (making sure the computer has the software)?  If you do care about compliance, go the managed software delivery policy route.  If you only care about deploying the software, go the quick delivery task route.

    It's been a long time since I've imported an MSU file but if I'm not mistaken, you should be able to import it and it should auto-populate all of the command lines for you.  Follow the import method section here:  https://www.symantec.com/connect/articles/symantec-software-management-75-troubleshooting-and-best-practices-part-4-process-flows#connect-anchor-link-a03

    Once finished, determine if you want Quick Delivery or MSD policy.  

    For Quick Delivery:

    If the import doesn't create the comand line it's:

    wusa.exe Windows6.1-KB958830-x64-RefreshPkg.msu /quiet /norestart

    If you're going to use a Managed Software Delivery Policy (which I recommend) then you should add a Detection Rule to the Software Release:

    Type: Registry Key Value

    Registry key path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\PackageIndex\Microsoft-Windows-RemoteServerAdministrationTools-Package-TopLevel-MergedCab~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~0.0.0.0

    Registry entry: Microsoft-Windows-RemoteServerAdministrationTools-Package-TopLevel-MergedCab~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.7600.16385

    Registry value: 0 substring

    You'll need to enable the remote tools once installed:

    @echo off
    
    set log="%temp%\rsat.log" 2>&1
    
    dism /online /quiet /enable-feature /featurename:RemoteServerAdministrationTools >%log%
