Romulo Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 In my organization, by default, desktops won't have office installed unless is required. Laptops always have office installed. What I would like to do is to have one Gold image, no office installed and using the application package load office if the pc being imaged is a laptop. Is it possible? I have built an Office application pack and created a filter that will check if the computer is laptop ( Haven't tested yet). Also my office install is customized, so I added the parameters to the run command to use my MSP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmartDeploySupport Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 On paper, it should work out, but it's something we haven't tested fully but understand it's going to be a popular pack. Application Packages are still in beta. You could test and then post your results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romulo Posted February 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 My question is how do I add the application pack to media during the media creation wizard? We have the option to select and add platform pack but I don't see an opton to add the application pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmartDeploySupport Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 Currently the application packs can only be pushed via the console and not copied to a USB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long@Foley Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 Is there a way to deploy multiple packages? Say I have a Group A. And Group A should get x1, x2, x3 packages. Is that possible or is this limited to just 1 application at a time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmartDeploySupport Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 Placing application packs on USB is something I'll let the team know about. I could see it being useful in some scenarios. Currently, it's just one application pack at a time, but it's another item we can look into. It's still beta right now but we are excited to expand more with application pack capabilities! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romulo Posted February 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 Placing application packs on a USB would be a must. As for my situation, I will have to create two images, one with Office and one without. That kind defeats the idea of Gold Image. With that said, can I save\capture two differen images to the USB drive? It would be one with Office and one without and how to I deploy/select the image to be installed?

Jeff Harris Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 Romulo; You can place as many images on your USB drive as you can fit. When you create your Offline Media, whichever Image you have set in your Answer File will be copied to the USB drive by the wizard. You can then use File Explorer to copy additional images to the \z\ folder, and then interrupt the unattended deployment, and use the Deploy wizard to select the alternate image you want to deploy. Alternatively, you can create media without an Answer File altogether and manually step through the Deploy Wizard, selecting whichever image you want to deploy that you've copied to your USB drive.
