What I would like to achieve is to produce a very simple CSV or Tab separated value (TSV I suppose) which contains very basic information about what applications were installed on a client machine during deployment. this log file should reside on the server and contain the following; Machine name, Application name, date/time.
this is all I want to capture. I am thinking of perhaps running a command in the TS before the application installation step, but I don't know how this would run asynchronously in the background while the TS moves onto the next step and installs the applications, nor do I know how it will get the application names it's installing. I could edit every single application in MDT to run a script which does the logging and kicks off the installation process but this is a lot of script files (one for each application)...
what would others recommend is the best way to produce this log file? I only want it so that I can inspect general success of application installs and ensure the right computers have got the right software, also I will import it into another spread sheet we use for tracking software assigned to machines.
thanks
