Windows Office Hours: April 18, 2024

No sure if it's best, but what works well for us is doing it as PowerShell scripts, which are packaged as a Win32 app. No Joke. Here's why: 1. We get good local and remote reporting and logging (using -verbose options and start-transcript) on whether it succeeded or not. 2. Re-applying (ie re-installing) can be triggered locally in multiple ways, one of them being the Company Portal app (=user friendly) and remotely. 3. It visibly happens during the ESP phase in the user deployment section. It gives users a rapid app deployment counter, which makes it look like a lot is happening. 4. We can use Azure DevOps repos and git for development, so we can treat registry keys as software code instead of OS settings.
