Today, I needed to deploy Windows Live to a number of machines.
The problem with Windows Live is that,depending on your configuration, there are about 10 individual files that need to be deployed..
Obviously, this becomes time consuming, creating all those packages, then advertising them all, and maybe even assign them to a few OSD Task Sequences..
Then I thought.. Task Sequences… ooh I wonder…
I recall from using MDT, that you can create Application Bundles that contain a list of applications, and then you only need to select that bundle to instantly deploy all the applications listed therein..
I had a quick look at OSD Task Sequences and it does give you the option to create a “Custom Task Sequence” which is basically blank
All you need to do is add all those applications into that one task sequence by going to “Add –> General –> Install Software” , and then advertise that to your collection..
This makes it a lot easier to manage – all you need to do is update the Sequence if there are any changes to the list.
