Creating a new deployment

info

A deployment template contains the source files for an application deployment, the deployment script that defines the deployment logic, and the PSADT module and configuration. It is typically entirely self-contained and can be shared with others to deploy the application in a consistent manner.

Using the module​

The PSAppDeployToolkit module can create a new deployment from PSADT’s internal templates.

To create a new deployment using the PSADT v3 compatible template, run:

New-ADTTemplate -Destination C:\Temp\MyAppDeployment -Name "MyOldAppDeployment" -Version 3

To create a new deployment using the PSADT v4 native deployment template, run:

New-ADTTemplate -Destination C:\Temp\MyAppDeployment -Name "MyAppDeployment"

Using the downloadable templates​

The PSAppDeployToolkit GitHub Releases page includes several templates for creating a new deployment.

  • PSAppDeployToolkit_Template_v3.zip - PSADT v3 compatible deployment template
  • PSAppDeployToolkit_Template_v4.zip - PSADT v4 native deployment template

To create a new deployment using the templates, follow these steps:

  1. Download the PSAppDeployToolkit template you require from the PSAppDeployToolkit GitHub Releases page.
  2. Extract the contents to a folder on your computer.
  3. Open the folder and review the contents. We will discuss the contents in the next section.
