During the last TechMentor conference in Orlando, deployment MVP and guru (I want to call her a deployment diva but I don\u2019t want people to get the wrong idea. Think \u201cdiva\u201d in the star sense without the ego and entourage,) Rhonda Layfield<\/a> asked me to look at some PowerShell code. She was trying to make sense of code cobbled together from the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit to create a deployment share. I\u2019m not much on deployment technologies these days (I miss the RIS days), but PowerShell I know.<\/p>\n

Eventually we ended up with a more coherent and usable script. Of course, since I\u2019m always looking for something extra, I thought this would make a great basis for a WinForms script. There are a lot of pieces to this puzzle so a form-based wizard seemed like a good idea. The end result is DeploymentWizard.ps1.<\/p>\n

\"deploymentwizard-2\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

If you are familiar with the deployment toolkit then I expect you\u2019ll know how to fill in the blanks. If not, I\u2019ve used a ToolTip control in the form to provide popup help when you hover your mouse over a field.<\/p>\n

After you complete the form, click Build It and the deployment share will be created along with the task sequence. All of the MDT cmdlets are executed using \u2013verbose so you can keep track. Expect the script to need several minutes to complete. When finished, you should see a new share in the MDT management console.<\/p>\n

\"deploymentworkbench\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

The only caveat is that you need to run the script in an elevated session. If you have deployment questions or needs, I encourage you to contact Rhonda via her web site, http:\/\/www.deploymentdr.com<\/a>. The official name is \u201cDeployment Done Right\u201d, but I also look at the link as \u201cdeployment doctor\u201d which works just as well.<\/p>\n

If you have PowerShell-related problems with the script, let me know. I have limited resources for testing so I can\u2019t guarantee you won\u2019t run into something. <\/p>\n

I used SAPIEN\u2019s PrimalForms 2009<\/a> to develop the form and script. The source PFF file is included in the download zip file if you are interested in modifying the form. Otherwise, edit the PS1 file as necessary.<\/p>\n

Let me know how this works out for you.<\/p>\n
