Advanced SCCM Install Wrapper Scripts

By -
SCCM is able to do a lot but sometimes you need to sometimes you need to Install software uninstall the old version move some config files then remove a old shortcut and this all needs to be done as an application deployment. By default SCCM isn't able to handle all of that as an application deployment so you will need a scrip to do it. A while ago I was given a scrip that dose all of that and more the script was old and not all parts of it functioned  so I doctored it up and made it a little more user friendly. The scrip is called Install-Wrapper.ps1 is very easy to use. 

You can get all the scripts from HERE

To start enter the appropriate information under Software Information



and uncommnet the actions you want to run.


Then in SCCM create an Application for the script and for the install parameter enter.

powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -NoProfile  -File Install-Wrapper.ps1

The msi file should also be in the same folder as the script.

If you need to deploy multiple applications with the script you can use the Multi-Install script.

Create a Install-Wrapper script for each application you need to install then enter the name of the script for the $Installs variable.


 Then you can set the $ExitOnFail variable if you want the install to stop if any of the other scripts fail


If the Multi-Install script is used you will want to use the Uninstall-Wrapper.ps1 for the uninstall parameter of the SCCM Application.

To set the script up enter the Application IDs of the applications you want to uninstall


You can get all the scripts from my GitHub

SCCM Applications vs. SCCM Packages: Understanding the Key Differences

By -
Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) is a versatile and powerful tool for managing devices, applications, and updates in an organization's IT environment. Among its many features, SCCM allows you to deploy software to your end-users in two primary ways: Applications and Packages. Although both methods have a similar goal, they have some key differences that IT administrators should understand when choosing the appropriate deployment method. In this blog post, we will explore these differences and help you decide which option is best for your organization. Definition and Deployment Scenarios SCCM Applications: An SCCM Application is a high-level, user-centric deployment method that focuses on providing the desired user experience. Applications are designed to be state-based, meaning they can detect if the application is already installed and only perform the necessary actions if the application is not present or if a newer version is available. Applications are suita...

Faster PXE boot times in SCCM 1606 and later

A new feature introduced with SCCM 1606 was being able to modify the boot times for PXE. This is done by modifying the TFTP block and window size of the boot image RamDisk. This was originally implemented to help a admin over come network requirement. This allows us to make the PXE boot times much faster for my self this meant taking a 10 minute boot time all the way down to 30 second boot time. In order to make this change you need to create 2 registry keys on your PXE enabled DP. Location : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\DP Name: RamDiskTFTPWindowSize Type : REG_DWORD Value : <customized window size> The default value is 1 (1 data block fills the window)  Location : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\DP Name: RamDiskTFTPBlockSize Type : REG_DWORD Value : <customized block size> The default value is 4096 (4k).  once you have added the registry keys you will need to restart  the Windows Deployment Service for the ch...
