Streamlining Software Deployment with PowerShell
Software DeploymentDecember 23, 2024
In this post, I will share a script designed to streamline software deployment across your organization. Efficient software deployment is key to maintaining productivity and ensuring that all systems are equipped with the necessary applications. Below is a sample PowerShell script that installs a specified application on multiple remote systems, ensuring that your team has the tools they need to succeed:
powershell
# Define the list of computers for software installation
$computers = @("Computer1", "Computer2", "Computer3")
# Specify the software executable path
$softwarePath = "\\ServerShare\Software\MyApplicationInstaller.exe"
# Loop through each computer to install the software
foreach ($computer in $computers) {
try {
# Use Invoke-Command to run the installer remotely
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $computer -ScriptBlock {
param ($installer)
Start-Process -FilePath $installer -ArgumentList "/silent" -Wait
} -ArgumentList $softwarePath
Write-Host "Software installed successfully on $computer."
} catch {
Write-Host "Failed to install software on $computer. Error: $_"
}
}Run it across your fleet
This script runs as-is on a single host. Paste it into ServerEngine to schedule it, run it on a whole server group in parallel, and keep the credentials out of the file — see the scripts documentation and the credential store.
