    3. Return codes from powershell

    Still interested in this if anyone knows.  Something I was trying was [Environment]::Exit($ExitCode) , but I am not getting anything returned to the Error column.  I was thinking that as long as it...

    I had previously asked about running powershell scripts from PDQ Deploy and found that this can be done directly.  How would you retrieve an installation error code if you did installs this way? Wo...
