.SYNOPSIS

Install software remotely in a group of computers and retry the installation in case of error.

.DESCRIPTION

This script install software remotely in a group of computers and retry the installation in case of error.

It uses PowerShell to perform the installation. Target computer must allow Windows PowerShell Remoting.

Script can try to enable Windows PowerShell Remoting using Microsoft Sysinternals Psexec with the paramenter -EnablePSRemoting.

If PSExec is not found on computer, script asks to the user for download it and extract in system folder.

.PARAMETER AppPath

Path to the application executable, It can be a network or local path because entire folder will be copied to remote computer before installing and deleted after installation.

Example: 'C:\Software\TeamViewer\TeamvieverHost.msi' (Folder TeamViewer will be copied to remote computer before run ejecutable)

.PARAMETER AppArgs

Application arguments to perform silent installation.

Example: '/S /R settings.reg'

.PARAMETER LocalPath

Local path of the remote computer where copy application directory.

Default: 'C:\temp'

.PARAMETER Retries

Number of times to retry failed installations.

Default: 5

.PARAMETER TimeBetweenRetries

Seconds to wait before retrying failed installations.

Default: 60

.PARAMETER ComputerList

List of computers in install software. You can only use one source of target computers: ComputerList, OU or CSV.

Example: Computer001,Computer002,Computer003 (Without quotation marks)

.PARAMETER OU

OU containing computers in which install software.

RSAT for AD module for PowerShell must be installed in order to query AD.

If you run script from a Domain Controller, AD module for PowerShell is already enabled.

You can only use one source of target computers: ComputerList, OU or CSV.

Example: 'OU=Test,OU=Computers,DC=CONTOSO,DC=COM'

.PARAMETER CSV

CSV file containing computers in which install software. You can only use one source of target computers: ComputerList, OU or CSV.

Example: 'C:\Scripts\Computers.csv'

CSV Format:

Name

Computer001

Computer002

Computer003

.PARAMETER LogPath

Path where save log file.

Default: My Documents

.PARAMETER Credential

Script will ask for an account to perform remote installation.

.PARAMETER EnablePSRemoting

Try to enable PSRemoting on failed computers using Psexec. Psexec has to be on system path.

If PSExec is not found. Script ask to download automatically PSTools and copy them to C:\Windows\System32.

.PARAMETER AppName

App name as shown in registry to check if app is installed on remote computer and not reinstall it.

You can check app name on a computer with it installed looking at:

'HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\'

'HKLM:\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\'

Example: 'TightVNC'

Default: None

.PARAMETER AppVersion

App name as shown in registry to check if app is installed on remote computer and not reinstall it.

If not specified and AppName has a value, version will be ignored.

You can check app version on a computer with it installed looking at:

'HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\'

'HKLM:\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\'

Example: '2.0.8.1'

Default: all

.PARAMETER WMIQuery

WMI Query to execute in remote computers. Software will be installed if query returns values.

Example: 'select * from Win32_Processor where DeviceID="CPU0" and AddressWidth="64"' (64 bit computers)

Example: 'select * from Win32_Processor where DeviceID="CPU0" and AddressWidth="32"' (32 bit computers)

Default: None

.EXAMPLE

TightVNC -> .\InstallSoftwareRemotely.ps1 -AppPath 'C:\Scripts\TightVNC\tightvnc-2.8.8-gpl-setup-64bit.msi' -AppArgs '/quiet /norestart ADDLOCAL="Server" SERVER_REGISTER_AS_SERVICE=1 SERVER_ADD_FIREWALL_EXCEPTION=1 SERVER_ALLOW_SAS=1 SET_USEVNCAUTHENTICATION=1 VALUE_OF_USEVNCAUTHENTICATION=1 SET_PASSWORD=1 VALUE_OF_PASSWORD=Password.01 SET_USECONTROLAUTHENTICATION=1 VALUE_OF_USECONTROLAUTHENTICATION=1 SET_CONTROLPASSWORD=1 VALUE_OF_CONTROLPASSWORD=3digits.01' -OU 'OU=Central,OU=Computers,DC=Contoso,DC=local' -Retries 2 -AppName 'TightVNC' -AppVersion '2.8.8.0' -EnablePSRemoting -WMIQuery 'select * from Win32_Processor where DeviceID="CPU0" and AddressWidth="64"'

.EXAMPLE

TightVNC Mirage Driver -> .\InstallSoftwareRemotely.ps1 -AppPath 'C:\Scripts\TightVNC\dfmirage-setup-2.0.301.exe' -AppArgs '/verysilent /norestart' -OU 'OU=Central,OU=Computers,OU=MyBusiness,DC=Contoso,DC=local' -Retries 2 -AppName 'DemoForge Mirage Driver for TightVNC 2.0' -AppVersion '2.0' -EnablePSRemoting -WMIQuery 'select * from Win32_Processor where DeviceID="CPU0" and AddressWidth="64"'

.EXAMPLE

InstallSoftwareRemotely.ps1 -AppPath "C:\Temp\Software\Miranda\miranda-im-v0.10.75-unicode.exe" -AppArgs "/S" -ComputerList Computer001,Computer002,Computer003 -AppName "Miranda IM 0.10.75" -AppVersion "0.10.75"

.EXAMPLE

InstallSoftwareRemotely.ps1 -AppPath "C:\Temp\Software\Miranda\miranda-im-v0.10.75-unicode.exe" -AppArgs "/S" -CSV "C:\Computers.csv" -Credential -EnablePSRemoting

.EXAMPLE

InstallSoftwareRemotely.ps1 -AppPath "\\Server01\Software\Miranda\miranda-im-v0.10.75-unicode.exe" -AppArgs "/S" -OU "OU=Test,OU=Computers,DC=CONTOSO,DC=COM"
