I'm writing a script (VBScript) to automate as much as possible of our
'preparation for deployment' process, mostly so we can impose standards
and stop packagers using ridiculous names for GPOs!
So far, the script creates the group, sets up the GPO, links the GPO to
the relevant OU, removes 'Authenticated Users' from the permission list
and adds the group created in the first step. That all works.
Now, I need ti make it add the MSI to the GPO. Does anyone have any
pointers about this? I've looked at the GPMgmt.GPM object docs on MSDN
but that doesn't seem to have anything which looks like it might do the
job.
I imagine I'd need to use the GPO's GUID (which the script stores
already) somewhere but what do I do with it? Do I have to add every
property that I can see in ADSIEdit? Surely not? There must be an 'Add'
method or something somewhere...
I have the shell of a function which looks like this:
Function AddPackageToGPO(ByVal strDomain, ByVal strGUID, ByVal
blnPerUser)
Dim strTarget
strTarget = "CN=Packages,CN=Class Store""
If blnPerUser Then
strTarget = strTarget & ",CN=User"
Else
strTarget = strTarget & ",CN=Machine"
End If
strTarget = strTarget & ",CN=" & strGUID & ",CN=Policies,CN=System,"
& strDomain
AddPackageToGPO = False
AddPackageToGPO = True
End Function
All I need is the rest! :) Can this even be done in script? I can't
believe it can't be...
