Introduction

The neo42 PSAppDeployToolkit Extensions integrate and extend a globally respected and regorously tested deployment framework. We use them to align the PSADT with the vision neo42 has for packaging. We hope, by providing public access, you can profit off of our work and help us improve ourselfs.

neo42 GmbH makes use of these extensions to provide its service Application Package Depot.

Why use the neo42 Extensions

Configuration based installers

No code approach to writing new packages

Don't want to write new code for every simple package? Make use of our Deploy-Application.ps1 which can be controlled solely by its corresponding neo42PackageConfig.json. The standardized sequence of the main function remains unchanged for each package!

The included schema for the json file and examples will help you write your first package in no time.

Custom* functions

You are not limited to the values contained within in the configuration file but you can also write customizings in the intended Custom functions without loosing the framework we provide. The custom functions offer many different entry points to intervene in the main function process and perform individual actions for each package if required.

Automation first

In addition to the neo42PackageConfig.json file, which is very easy to change automatically, we have also made sure that automatic updates are possible in many other aspects. For example, in this script we have demonstrated how to use Custom* functions for your own content. Your own product-specific code can be automatically transferred to new packages at any time!

New functionalities

The neo42 Extensions offer over 100+ new functions

All functions are tested to work in different deployment system contextes like Empirum, Intune or Workspace One

Integrated installer handling

Based on our long experience, we have been able to integrate the silent parameters and handling for the most common installer types into the extension. As a rule, no further parameters or code adaptations are necessary for the following types:

Apart from these installers, any other installer can be addressed via the predefined fields in the configuration file.

Build instructions

Note: We always recommend obtaining the latest production release from the releases page.
