Reinstall of windows apps

Is it possible to reinstall apps removed during OSD task sequence? Windows Store is not available.

Is there any way to get the Appx package from an existing machine that has the app installed?  I am not familiar with the Microsoft Store for Business and will need to look into it.  Can I mass deploy the App using SCCM?  I have not been able to find any documentation on this.  Thanks.

You can find the appx files on the machine, however, I personally have never tried to use those to install on other machines. I can't say if it's even recommended\supported. I would say that you can try in a test environment and see if that works for you.

As for the SCCM part, here's a good blog post about that :
