RE: [MDT-OSD] ConfigMgr/MDT CustomSettings.ini Appliaction Install

Hi,

It’s the Install Application actions that installs the apps. See below image.

Make sure your apps are configured to be allowed to be deployed by the task 
sequences, and that they don’t have multiple deployment types.

All, I am trying to use my customsettings.ini in a ConfigMgr 1610 in 
ConfigMgr/MDT integrated task sequence. I have it set as:
[ByLaptopType]
Subsection=Laptop-%IsLaptop%
[Laptop-True]
APPLICATIONS001=MBAM 2.5 SP1
What step or part of the ConfigMgr/MDT task sequence does the application 
actually install? I am having some trouble getting this working properly.


Thanks

Josh

[Denzik, Josh]

So why not just leave the default base variable name as COALESCEDAPPS? Or is 
that just a place holder? I went through the first link. I have set my variable 
in my customsettings and left COALESCEDAPPS as the default it is still not 
installing is there something I am missing? I also checked the box to allow the 
application to install from the task sequence.

There's a bit much to explain but this page has the main points you're looking 
for:

https://www.scconfigmgr.com/2016/06/09/dynamically-install-applications-in-a-mdt-integrated-task-sequence-with-configmgr/

You don't necessarily have to stick this default convention, you can define 
your own as an additional property and change the install application step to 
use your custom Property as the base variable name: Example: HRApp custom 
property can use - HRApp001, HRApp002, MarketingApp property can use -  
MarketingApp001, MarketingApp002, etc.

The trick there is how you define it:  [Settings] Properties = 
MyCustomProperty, HRApp(*)

Two things to note: you can't skip numbers, defining 003 then 005 won't process 
correctly, and you have to “allow applications to be installed during Task 
Sequence without being deployed”. There is a script which allows you to make 
this change en masse:

Always test in DEV, of course :)
