Hi, I am evaluating WVD and would like to use FSLogixApp as the profile manager. I plan on having the hosts be disposable so that I can just replace them when with new patched hosts instead of patching every month. The problem with this approach is that I need to find a way to automate the installation of FSLogixApp onto any new hosts that appear in the dedicated OU. I wanted to use GPO but the software is supplied in .exe and not .msi. Is there an msi version I can get hold of or another way to achieve this automated installation? Thanks

    Hi @Williams, Jonathan ,

    currently I am installing FSLogix via Chocolatey using a PowerShell script. Maybe this is an option for you as well

    Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope Process -Force; [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072; Invoke-Expression ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))  
    # Install FSLogix  
    choco install fslogix -y
