Hi, I'm in the process of deploying Windows 10 (x64 Enterprise Build 1809) at a customer site using Configuration Manager Current Branch (1806 + Hotfix). Office 365 Click-to-Run is a Tier 1 application that I am installing during deployment of the OS to the endpoint machine. In order to ensure the O365 C2R content is the latest "Semi-Annual Channel" version (client is bound by regulation to patch applications, so testing this with Office) I've setup the following: "Content" for the Application in CM is JUST setup.exe plus XML files for the install. Two XML files for install for two different locations (one of which is on at a low-speed WAN site). Each XML refers to source content in an open share on the Distribution Point servers - one of which is at the low-speed WAN site. Two deployment types in the Application - one for each XML. Setup a Scheduled Task on the Distribution Point servers to update the share (not the Application content) on a regular basis So my plan was then to use a "Requirement" on the application using a custom Global Condition that determines the Active Directory site (created using PowerShell). The idea then being that during deployment, the application installs using the latest available SAC version and administrators don't need to worry about the Application content being updated. And of course, the XML file then tells it to grab the content from the local site, which is highly connected. Works wonderfully well in Software Center in my testing. BUT, doesn't seem to work in OSD Task Sequence ☹️. If I am reading error logs right, it seems as though the PowerShell in the Global Condition is not being allowed to run (even when I set Execution Policy to "Bypass" earlier in the Task Sequence. So, perhaps I am making things more complex than they should be. Simplest thing to do would be to create two separate applications using the same method (i.e. not just two deployment types) and use a Dynamic Variable in the Task Sequence that installs one or the other dependent upon gateway IP. However, throwing it out there for some thoughts on how I could do this using the multiple deployment methods on the single app. Thanks, Matt
