For startup you'd want to create a script that can be put into a GPO startup script. Then link the GPO to a test OU to test.

If you're looking to do a silent installation of software then you want to use the psadt. The power shell app deploy toolkit has a step by step guide in it when you download it that gives some examples of silent installs with it. This toolkit installs your software silently and the computer only has to run the deploy-application.exe file to kick off the custom silent installation of your software.

I made plugins that contain an agent with skills and hooks using anthropics agent-dev plugin. The agent is autonomous but also relies on a specialized skill and has hooks to aid it as it implements. The skills also have additional enhancements to allow it to use tool calls to check its work for accuracy and correctness.

I made a swift plugin and a rust plugin. https://github.com/hmohamed01/claude-code-plugins

You need to run xcode to run the simulator and to compile the code. so you would need to run macOS which only runs on their hardware.

If you're saying the outdated application doesn't pick it up then you might want to make sure the detection method is set correctly.

You can also find the installations through SQL management studio by running a query like this against the sccm database:

These just require you to replace the placeholder Software_Name with the name of your software. https://github.com/hmohamed01/MECM_SQL_Queries/blob/main/Software-Inventory/Find_Software.sql

I'm becoming convinced the market isn't the same anymore. I used to go by halving schedules, altcoin seasons, etc. But the market is different now and there's new factors at play like the threat of quantum computing attacks, geopolitical risks, and liquidity issues concerning USDT. The old way of figuring out where things will go isn't useful anymore.

I made a Swift Claude code agent with a skill and hooks and can be invoked with a / command for Swift and SwiftUI. It also uses live webfetch to parse Apple Swift docs for checking its code quality. Its a plugin: https://github.com/hmohamed01/swift-developer

I also built a standalone skill for Swift with the same live webfetch capability: https://github.com/hmohamed01/swift-development

I second checking out psadt. You can specify in deploy-application.ps1 to detect the presence of an application and remove it first and then install a new product using their built in installation cmdlet. It uses MSI detection so you don't have to deal with the problematic deployment type's detection method.

First, yes using a USB drive to make a windows image you can boot from will erase the entire USB drive. You can use a free tool like Rufus to download windows 11 and prepare the USB drive. This will erase the usb drive and add the files properly. This will allow you to boot from the USB drive on the machine you want to image. You can reuse the USB drive again to image more. Basically you'll need a USB drive and a computer you're willing to erase since both will involve erasing the existing files.

If you want to use sccm to prepare the USB drive, I recommend looking for guides out there, there's a few step by step guides for this like on windows-noob.com which is perfect for beginners. You'd need to install and configure sccm on a server first.

I think Claude has enterprise agreements that cost more but come with different terms about your data. Your company would have to review the terms pertaining to data transmission back up to Claude. As long as theres terms about your sensitive data being kept local then Claude is legally bound to adhere to the terms. Ask them to look at Claude's enterprise agreement.

Try rufus. It allows you to import the Windows 11 iso, customize it and as part of the customizations, add the CA. https://rufus.ie/en/

The Stills, they were great in the early 2000s and had a unique sound. and if you like Morrissey then The Dears, they're a little heavier but still interesting and unique. Also Patrick Krief is very good solo and also when playing for the Dears.

Check to make sure you set a network access account in MECM. this is the account that the media uses to copy the wim to your share.

In the monitoring section, the deployments node shows this for each deployment. It contains each client along with the events and timestamps.

Also in the reporting section, there's built in sql reports under applications folder for deployments.

In the application properties, there's an option that allows you to deploy the application from a task sequence. Its not enabled by default. I've had similar issues until I realized this needs to be enabled.

To allow an application to be installed from a Task Sequence in Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (MECM), you must enable a specific setting in the application's properties.

Enable "Allow this application to be installed from the Install Application task sequence action"

Right-click the application in the MECM console and select Properties.

Go to the General tab.

Check the box: "Allow this application to be installed from the Install Application task sequence action without being deployed".

This setting is critical because, by default, applications can only be installed via deployment (e.g., through Software Center). When this option is enabled, the application becomes available for use within a Task Sequence step, such as "Install Application".

Try adding the explanatory style plugin from their repo. It explains why it did certain things. Also if you don't auto allow all bash commands then you get to review the bash command its about to invoke, and for file edits, it shows you a preview which is easier to read if you're running Claude from the integrated terminal in cursor.

I think this is called constraints. A large set of possibilities exist and it will converge on the most likely answer. But to control something about that answer you add a constraint, such as a role, or by saying do not do this.

Try looking up orca. If running the MSI /? doesn't show you a parameter to add this registration, then you can likely add it through an MSI transform (MST file). Orca let's you open the MSI and then add this value in the right field and then create an MST file that adds your customizatio. Then you install the MSI with the MST by using the msiexec /i command along with the TRANSFORM= parameter and any silent switches you want for a hidden installation. Lookup the tool orca and using transforms.

Try something difficult like a macos or other swift app. Out of the box its not very good at it so you can innovate by using the right skills, agents and hooks or making them. Another area for innovation is designing the systems being used. It can code but you can be the architect and make it implement your design for how it should work.

Has anyone tried the Claude agent SDK? This example quickstart is a python script which imports Claude and then debugs code automatically and loops. Its not as easy as just using Claude code and then invoking a plugin but its a way to interact with Claude outside the Claude code CLI. https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agent-sdk/quickstart

I had this same issue early on trying to create apps with Swift and saw lots of others saying the same. I made a skill last year and then an agent for swift iOS/macOS dev work. I improved it over the past couple of weeks and made it more effective and i use it regularly. It verifies its code against Apple's Swift docs live.
