Deployment Application/Deployment Package versus Task Sequence

Hello,

What are the criteria to decide and select a Task Sequence versus a Deployment of Application or Package?

e.g:
- the server build with post-install tasks...
- deployment Microsoft Defender including Uninstallation of Sophos & enabling Windows Defender features...
- etc...



Thanks,
Dom

Hi @DucheminDominique-7551,

Task sequences are a core element for any OSD operation. They consist of a series of customizable tasks or sequentially performed steps.

So, if you want use multiple tasks during a deployment process I would select task sequences. If I need to only deploy a single program, I would select an application or a package.

Hello,

But If I need to run a deployment as Administrator do I have option in:
- Deployment Application
- Deployment Package
- Task Sequence

These are the steps:
Get-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName "Windows-Defender*" | Format-Table
Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName "Windows-Defender-Features" -NoRestart
Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName "Windows-Defender" -NoRestart
Get-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName "Windows-Defender*" | Format-Table

Which one is feasible?
Thanks,
Dom

Hi @DucheminDominique-7551,

I think a deployment package could be the best method for that.
