Powershell script to install multiple msi on remote machines - powershell

Question

Good day, I would ask you to help me with finding the solution how to copy each MSI package to remote machine using link on nas storage.
# Get list of servers
param(
[ValidateSet('STUDENT_LAB', 'LIBRARY_LAB', 'TEACHER_LAB')]
[Parameter(Mandatory = $true,
HelpMessage = 'Select one of the valid servers by typing one of these names: STUDENT_LAB, LIBRARY_LAB, TEACHER_LAB')]
[string]$ServerGroup
)
$servers = #{
STUDENT_LAB = ('192.168.1.1','192.168.1.2','192.168.1.3')
LIBRARY_LAB = ('192.168.10.1','192.168.10.2','192.168.10.3')
TEACHER_LAB = ('192.168.15.1','192.168.15.2','192.168.15.3')
}[$ServerGroup]
Write-Output "The user chose $ServerGroup"
#this is what I don't know how to implement - download file from nas storage on remote machine
$sourcefiles = '\\NASSTORAGE\MSI\MICROSOFT\Microsoft-ODBCDriver-11-SQLServer-x64\msodbcsql.msi' ; '\\NASSTORAGE\MSI\MICROSOFT\Microsoft-ODBCDriver-17-SQLServr-x64\msodbcsql_17.2.0.1_x64.msi'; '\\NASSTORAGE\MSI\MICROSOFT\Microsoft-OLEDBDriver-SQL Server-x64\msoledbsql_18.1.0.0_x64.msi'
foreach($server in $servers) {
# Destination UNC path changes based on server name
$destinationPath = "\\$server\D$\tmp\"
# Check that full folder structure exists and create if it doesn't
if(!(Test-Path $destinationPath)) {
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path $destinationPath
}
# Copy the file across
Copy-Item $sourcefiles $destinationPath
#list of packages to install
$msiList = #(
'Microsoft-ODBCDriver-11-SQLServer-x64\msodbcsql.msi'
'Microsoft-ODBCDriver-17-SQLServr-x64\msodbcsql_17.2.0.1_x64.msi'
'Microsoft-OLEDBDriver-SQL Server-x64\msoledbsql_18.1.0.0_x64.msi'
)
#now I'm trying to install on remote machine
foreach ($msi in $msiList) {
$install = Join-Path -Path $destinationPath -ChildPath $msi
Start-Process "msiexec.exe" -ArgumentList "/I $install",'/qn' -Wait
}
}
And is there any way how to check if the msi was installed properly?
Thank you for your time.

Answer 1

you can add this at the installation section :
$LaunchMsi = Start-Process "msiexec.exe" -ArgumentList "/I $install",'/qn' -Wait -PassThru
$ReturnCode = $LaunchMsi.ExitCode
if (($ReturnCode -eq "0") -OR ($ReturnCode -eq "3010")) {Write-Host "installation OK, return code : $ReturnCode"}
Else {Write-host "installation KO, return code : $ReturnCode"}
