PSAppDeployToolkit 4.1: Deploy Smarter — From Zero to Script in 60 Minutes - Dan Cunningham Ready to tame application deployments without re-inventing the wheel? In this fast-paced, demo driven session, we’ll unpack everything you need to start—and level up—with PSAppDeployToolkit , and talk about what's new in 4.1, the latest (and easily the greatest) release!
What PSADT Is & Why It Matters The five minute crash course: how the open source toolkit simplifies packaging using a standardized workflow backed by commonly used deployment functions with a full audit trail of every action, and user experience handling with deferrals, countdowns and automated restarts.
What’s New in 4.1 (and Why You’ll Care) Highlights include the removal of ServiceUI as a requirement for desktop interactivity, full feature parity between PSADT v3's Classic UI and the modern Windows 11-style Fluent UI, support for Windows Administrator Protection when executing processes, and Group Policy ADMX templates for setting config settings.
Live Demos Packaging a simple app in seconds with Zero-Config MSI deployment Interacting with the end user New features of PSADT v4, including the improvements in v4.1
Build Your First Deployment Script (Interactive Walk through) Starting with the blank template. Adding pre flight checks, install logic, and user prompts. Testing locally before you unleash it in ConfigMgr, Intune, or your tool of choice.
