DeskUpdate can definitely do this, and I built a script under our old automation platform to manage it. The problem was that one day it would work fine, then there would be an update to DeskUpdate and it wouldn’t work anymore. And I think the installed version had to be the latest.
The magic incantation I used (and I suppose it is still the same) was:
But obviously also some extra logic to capture the return code from each command and something to parse the output or logs etc.
For ImmyBot you’d also want a “check if already up to date without actually installing” so that the Inventory could capture the current state. I don’t know what the commands for that are but they probably exist.
@cdmisp as you found out the deployment has been made to at least install the DeskUpdate app for now.
This still currently will need to be manually ran but at least saves your team the time of manually having to go find it and manually install it.
If you check the notes on the deployment we were also able to create a filter script for Fujitsu computers.
@James_Harper was a help to point in the direction that making it run would be possible and I was able to find a resource here that may assist us getting it to do so Ducmd - Fujitsu DeskUpdate Powershell Skripte • it-runs.de
(Leaving here mostly for reference for when we come back to review further)
This is a bit more of a time sink and we also have no computers to test it against ourselves and may take a bit of time to try dig into it further to get that part of it working/if possible to make it work.
I’m building a fujitsu laptop now so I threw this together. You’ll need to clone the Software definition so you can add a new configuration task (or just create a new configuration task and be sure to have it run after the software install). Only problem is it doesn’t work. ducmd /install /drv /web just always fails to download the first package (not a fault of my script - it does this even if I run it from a command prompt)
I’m interested to know if ducmd works for you? Maybe Fujitsu are cross at me for abusing their deskupdate download pages trying to get dynamic versions working

After enabling SSL Inspection on my firewall I can see that Fujitsu is giving my DeskUpdate download requests a status code of 420 “Enhance your calm”, which is a deprecated status code used by early versions of Twitter and means “too many requests”.
