In this episode, PowerShell Podcast host Andrew Pla chats with Dan Cunningham, Strategic Innovation Leader for PowerShell App Deployment Toolkit (PSADT), about the history, architecture, and evolution of the open-source framework used for enterprise software deployment. Dan explains how PSADT simplifies installs, improves logging, enhances user experience with UI dialogs, and provides consistency across environments. He also discusses the latest release, v4.1, which removes the need for Microsoft’s ServiceUI, boosting both security and usability for Intune and SCCM deployments. Key Takeaways:
  • Smarter software deployments – PSADT provides a structured, battle-tested framework for automating installs, repairs, and removals, saving IT teams time while improving consistency and reliability.
  • Security and stability first – The 4.1 release replaces the risky ServiceUI dependency, strengthening system security and making UI deployments safer and easier.
  • Open source with enterprise value – With over a decade of community use, PSADT continues to evolve through collaboration, defensive coding, and lessons learned from real-world enterprise use.
