powershell from mdt where does the powershel run?

Question

Hello.

I'm triying to run powershell script from the custom setting area in a mdt task sequence, the question is , which powershell run in that moment?, is the powershell install in the deployed cliente, or an another hand is the powershell installed in the windows server 2012 r2 where I have installed the microsoft deployment toolkit?.

All my Powershell scripts are installed in the scripts folder of the deployment share.

Thank you very much.

Hi. Thank you for your question and reaching out. I’d be more than happy to help you with your query.

I have linked an article below that may help solve your issue. Here is what the article has to say:

In File Explorer (or Windows Explorer), right-click the script file name and then select "Run with PowerShell". The "Run with PowerShell" functionality launches a PowerShell session with the execution policy Bypass, executes the script, and then exits the session.

REFERENCE: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_run_with_powershell#:\x7e:text=In%20File%20Explorer%20(or%20Windows,script%2C%20and%20closes%20the%20session

Hi,

I believe the PowerShell would from the client if its part of a task sequence any given client is running.

I haven't tried specifically via MDT but I do run PowerShell scripts as part of my task sequence on SCCM OS deployments and the script runs on the client (in my case to remove some AppX packages)

Hope that helps
