PDQ Inventory Variable

Avatar

Hi Everyone,

After watching Lex's brilliant Video on Custom Variables, i have set this up in our environment for some of our in house applications and its working great. Unfortunately i have been asked if there is any way for us to automate the change in version number. all of our packages are MSI files, but i can't see where or how Inventory would be able to automatically detect a change to the MSI but wonder if anyone else has tried to automate this with any success?

thanks for any help.

    Hey there, there is a PDQ Inventory CLI command to update a customer variable. (pdqinventoy /? for more information)

    Then from there, I've used the PS Gallery MSI PowerShell to extract data from a MSI for purposes. MSI module

    I'll leave the reset up to your imagination on how to automate updating those variables 😃
