To make it run through SCCM

It needs two files:

java.settings.cfg

jre1.8.0_65.msi

These files should be in the same folder as the script.

My Java config settings look like this:

INSTALL_SILENT=Enable
STATIC=Disable
AUTO_UPDATE=Disable
WEB_JAVA=Enable
WEB_JAVA_SECURITY_LEVEL=H
WEB_ANALYTICS=Disable
EULA=Disable
REBOOT=Disable
NOSTARTMENU=Enable
SPONSORS=Disable

(Settings are taken from a ITNinja member)

The Java msi file can be extracted from the exe file.

SCCM Deployment type settings

The deployment type installation program looks like this:

Powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -NoLogo -NonInteractive -NoProfile -WindowStyle Hidden -File .\Install.ps1

And the detection method:


The version is added to the registry by the script. This makes it easy to monitor which version is installed.

That is all. Feedback would be appreciated.

This will require three detection methods in SCCM:

  • What version of SCCM is the screen shot for? - empyre 8 years ago
  • Hello Arivarton,Java msi can be deployed via SCCM using the simple msi command line arguments, right? Why do you suggest this complicated method? Is there any advantage in using the PS script instead of regular windows batch script? - seemon 8 years ago
    • There are three advantages with this script.
      First thing is that it will uninstall all previous versions of Java on the machine.
      Secondly it copies the .cfg to the local machine.
      Third reason is that it will automatically shutdown services that are associated with Java, this guarantees that the machine won't restart.

      I also like to use it for the custom logging part and the registry addition. The .msi logs can be a bit messy.

      Basically I use this script for every application i deploy with SCCM. This ensures that each client machine has the same installation logs for each software.

      Personally I find that deploying software with powershell scripts makes the packaging of applications go much faster as Powershell has a lot of advantages to batch scripts. It offcourse requires the packager to know a bit of Powershell and basic programming.

      The script has been updated a bit since this version, I will remake this post to reflect that. - arivarton 8 years ago
  • Thank you for the detailed explanation - seemon 8 years ago
  • Arivarton, could you please explain me how to deploy Java using this script via SCCM? I know how to do using the windows batch file. It would be really helpful if you could post the step by step instructions. And, what are the changes that need to be done on this script for deploying other application? - seemon 8 years ago
