let’s just create my own MSI installer cause as you know Grumpy Admin like doing shit! So I had a quick hunt around to see if I could find an MSI to install this WinSCP portable application? Nope, didn’t expect there to be, there is an exe installer but the portable is just a zip file as any IT guy would expect! A few individual install. Doing work makes Grumpy Admin grumpy!Īs such a professional, I like to deliver just what they asked for, as redundant and stupid as it might be to people who are in the know! It early on a Tuesday afternoon, and that horrible outlook program ding in my ear! Someone raised a service ticket to install WinSCP portable, to copy files to a Linux box – I’m like really, the request was PORTABLE, they can just download the zip file, extract and run no permissions required, why the hell request it be added to the store! Cheers! I want to drink my coffee in peace.
So I always try to find MSI’s as they are easier and faster to install via SCCM. This ok, if you want silent installs via SCCM you have to create a script install. My biggest mistake was giving users a means to request new software titles to be added to the Software Center in SCCM via the Service Desk as long as there is business justification or requirements of course!Īs you know a lot of programs these days, don’t provide MSI installations files. No admin rights needed, they click install, chrome gets installed! Nice For example, Firefox and Chrome are optional installs via the SCCM software Center.
Software that wasn’t on the base image, is pushed out via SCCM, with some elements being available via the Software Center for people to install as required. Grumpy Admin is Grumpy! We have a very tight IT ship internally, no thanks to me – I recently did a win10 client deployment and locked my users down, so they can’t just install any old stuff they want on the laptops.
