quick assist deployment thru Powershell-GPO
Since that Microsoft is turned with quick assist to the Windows Store we cannot use Quick assist anymore. I cannot install / deploy it thru Powershell whatever i try thru GPO, manual, scheduled task etc, it will not work. The only way that the install succeeds is when go to the Store and download and install it when i am an admin. But i want to deploy Quick Assist thru Powershell... What i tried: #sets switches param ( [Parameter(Mandatory=$false)][Switch]$Install, [Parameter(Mandatory=$false)][Switch]$Uninstall, [Parameter(ValueFromRemainingArguments=$true)] $args ) #Log output results function LogOutput($Message) { $LogFile = "C:\temp\Quick-Assist.log" "$(get-date -Format 'MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm') $($Message)" | Out-file -FilePath $LogFile -Append -Force } #Start of Script If ($Install){ Try { LogOutput "***This script is used to install the new Quick Assist app that is from the Microsoft Store. It will also remove the old version***" $InstallAppX = Get-AppxPackage -allusers MicrosoftCorporationII.QuickAssist If ($InstallAppX.status -eq 'OK'){ LogOutput "[Info] Windows Store version of Quick Assist is already installed" #lets uninstall the old version. LogOutput "[Info] lets uninstall the old version" Remove-WindowsCapability -Online -Name 'App.Support.QuickAssist~~~~0.0.1.0' -ErrorAction 'SilentlyContinue' LogOutput "[Info] Old version of Quick Assist has been uninstalled" } If ($InstallAppX.status -ne 'OK'){ LogOutput "[Info] Installing the Windows Store version of Quick Assist..." Add-AppxPackage -Path "c:\quickassist\MicrosoftCorporationII.QuickAssist.AppxBundle" #Add-AppxProvisionedPackage -online -SkipLicense -PackagePath '.\MicrosoftCorporationII.QuickAssist.AppxBundle' LogOutput "[Info] Attempting to remove the old version of Quick Assist..." Remove-WindowsCapability -Online -Name 'App.Support.QuickAssist~~~~0.0.1.0' -ErrorAction 'SilentlyContinue' } LogOutput "[Success] The Windows store version of Quick assist has successfully installed and the old version has been removed." } catch [exception] { LogOutput "[Error] An error occurred installing Quick Assist: $($_.Exception.Message)" } } We are using windows 10 21h1-2 Problem with this script is also that it says it removes the old version and installed the new version successfully, and when i look with get-package.... it also states that quick assist package is installed, but it is not in the startmenu anymore.... How can i deploy quick assist best for many computers without Intunes or sccm?
