Description

This cmdlet specifies how the client detects an application on the device. There are three detection methods: Windows Installer detection, detection by a specific application and deployment type, and a custom script to detect the application.

Examples

Example 1: Windows Installer detection

$ci = Get-CMConfigurationItem -Name "testCI"

$msiFilePath = "C:\tools\CCMTools\Orca.Msi"

$ci | Add-CMCIDetectionMethod -DetectionOption Msi -MsiFilePath $msiFilePath

Example 2: Specific app and deployment type

$ci = Get-CMConfigurationItem -Name "testCI"

$ci | Add-CMCIDetectionMethod -DetectionOption DeploymentType -ApplicationName "testApp" -DeploymentTypeId "392672"

Example 3: Custom script detection

$ci = Get-CMConfigurationItem -Name "testCI"

$scriptFile  = "C:\share\testScript.ps1"

$ci | Add-CMCIDetectionMethod -DetectionOption Script -ScriptLanguage PowerShell -ScriptFile $scriptFile
