      Chocolatey is more flexible, but PDQ is super simple. We implement PDQ here currently, as it was an uphill battle to get anything going. Now that the benefits are seen, many roads have opened.

      I am all for automation, and open source is a plus. Salt may be the next venture, as it looks like a fleet of Pis, and an expansion of Linux servers may be in our future.

        Yeah - I really need to look into salt myself. One frustrating thing is not knowing the status of any anything. not that salt can help with that, at least I don't think it can directly.

          We can't use Chocolatey, at least the public NuGet repo it uses by default.

          But for common apps, I have it 100% automated via Azure DevOps, Intune, and the PSADT.

          Another option I'm still looking into for certain apps is using Azure DevOps like above, but then deploying the artifact to a NuGet repo then used by the newer WinGet tool.

            Chocolately - I use the their package choco-upgrade-all-at-start. This will schedule choco to upgrade at every reboot.

            There's another package choco-upgrade-all-at that defaults to 4 AM update daily.

            You specify the time when you install it.

            choco install -y choco-upgrade-all-at --params "'/DAILY:yes /TIME:17:00 /ABORTTIME:20:00'"

              You can just make a Scheduled Task,too.

                Lots of people with that limitation, but just make your own. Still a great tool and, we'd assume, it means any public repo would be an issue for you so the need for your own repo would be a universal need.

                  Sounds like some great ideas! 😉

                      @JaredBusch Yeah much cleaner and you avoid the hassle of GPOs and what not of Task Scheduler so I do agree with this.

                          Yeah, but that would require one to use the search.

                              Yeah, pretty cool. Just if you already have a Scheduled Task process or whatever.
