Request: Dedicated Forum or subforum for Package deployment of working packages.

My organization got Landesk, currently on 2016.3 and about to make the upgrade to 2017.3. It has been pretty good and a nice learning curve for things, especially packaging. While packaging and the multiple ways of doing it I feel is a strong aspect of LANDesk the support for it wanes. Documentation while there is can sometimes be confusing or irritating, and the webinars are great but packaging is such a monster that you could have people just dedicated to it and still it not be enough.

 

My request to the forum admins is to create or allow creation of a subforum dedicated to allowing users to share their validated working Packages (like through the export import feature you already have) or different ways of doing packages; does not appear that there is not one dedicated place for it now. There are multiple forums and places I reference like PDQDeploy or ITNinja or WPKG for the general arguments but that doesn't always translate into a single easy LANDesk package. It makes little sense to me for multiple people to use the same tool and spend time on recreating packages that others have already done and not offer a "Template" for those that might not have the time or skills to do it themselves. Understanding that each environment is different, just having a point of reference from confirmed working packages could help a person. Multiple different ways to install office with multiple uninstallers, I created a package that uses the offscrubs for each version for example, and it could help those trying to do the same but not get buried in a post.

 

My two cents, thanks for a great product to play with.
