`powerpkg` is a Windows-focused script that provides IT departments a standard framework for unattended software deployment packaging within a corporate network.
`powerpkg` is a Windows-focused script that provides IT departments a standard framework for unattended software deployment packaging from within a corporate network.

Similar to Ansible and its playbook file functionality, `powerpkg` is accompanied and leveraged by a [configuration file](#package-file-packagexml) that can contain the necessary commands and verification processes to build a package and guarantee a seamless deployment to an end-user's workstation via a company's distribution tool of choice, whether it's Microsoft SCCM or Ivanti/LANDesk.

*This project was proudly written in PowerShell.*
