Example Script

This is an example script that creates a package and advertises it automatically. I use something similar to automatically create test packages for pre-configured installers.

param (
    [parameter(Mandatory=$true)][ValidateNotNull()][string]$siteProvider,
    [parameter(Mandatory=$true)][ValidateNotNull()][string]$siteCode,
    [parameter(Mandatory=$true)][ValidateNotNull()][string]$testCollectionId,
    [parameter(Mandatory=$true)][ValidateNotNull()][int]$testAdvertisementsFolderId,
    [parameter(Mandatory=$true)][ValidateNotNull()][int]$testPackagesFolderId,
    [parameter(Mandatory=$true)][ValidateNotNull()][string]$packageName,
    [parameter(Mandatory=$true)][ValidateNotNull()][string]$packageVersion,
    [parameter(Mandatory=$true)][ValidateNotNull()][string]$packageManufacturer,
    [parameter(Mandatory=$true)][AllowEmptyString()][string]$packageLanguage,
    [parameter(Mandatory=$true)][AllowEmptyString()][string]$packageDescription,
    [parameter(Mandatory=$true)][AllowEmptyString()][string]$packageSourcePath,
    [parameter(Mandatory=$true)][ValidateNotNull()][string]$programName = "Silent install",
    [parameter(Mandatory=$true)][ValidateNotNull()][string]$programCommandLine
    )
