SCCM Wim to deploy large application questions

Dear Experts,

I came across some posts where the smart guys mentioning using WIM to deploy application/package for client machines.
I'm testing the .ps1 script with issues. Here are some questions:

  1. When using WIM to pack the source install files first (over 10+GB and 1000+ files), we created new application or package in SCCM, do we still need to deploy the content to distribution point first?

  2. In SCCM I used the folder where the .wim resides as the source path, then specify "%SystemRoot%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command ".\script.ps1" as the command line, I set it as required deployment and deployed it to device collection. I updated the hardware policy in client but after a while, nothing happened. Anything I'm missing?

Hi, I won't comment on the use of WIM here as this is a custom solution and not a standard way of deploying applications, but you will need to get the WIM to download locally on the client devices somehow. Which means you will need to distribute the content to the DPs.

As for your 2nd question, once the content is copied, you can monitor the client side logs to see what is happening.

Hi, @EavenHuang

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

Distribute the content to distribution point is necessary.

I updated the hardware policy in client but after a while, nothing happened. Anything I'm missing?

Doesn't it even show up in the software center?
