Quit trying to make UDI do things it wasn't meant to do :) It's a rigid framework to begin with... sometimes I wish it had never been released because people just try to make it do something else than what it is...
That being said, your preflight idea might be the best way to do it.. remember that the UDI wizard is driven by the XML and those app selections are all configured in that XML, so yes you would have to modify that XML before UDI reads and consumes it... And remember UDI has nothing to do with MDT :) It's all CM variables... Chris Nackers Microsoft MVP - Enterprise Client Management Email: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Nackers Consulting Services, LLC From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Miller, Todd Sent: Wednesday, December 04, 2013 8:44 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [MDT-OSD] MDT 2012 update 1 with UDI and application/package selection I am interested in having a way for the UDI to preselect applications/packages for the user based on information in the MDT database. For instance I might have packages/programs assigned based on make/model or the computer might be assigned a role or a role may have been selected. Is there anyone who is translating this into the XML that UDI uses to present the available/selected applications? - or maybe there is some other way to do this that is better? I am thinking it could be done by reading the MDT database info as a preflight and hten translating it into something UDI can use... I might be installing on a computer with an MDT DB assigned a role that includes several pieces of software. Then the user or technician chooses to select or deselect one or more additional package(s) in the UDI interface. ________________________________ Notice: This UI Health Care e-mail (including attachments) is covered by the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, 18 U.S.C. 2510-2521, is confidential and may be legally privileged.
