could it be also possible to choose the day for a "monthly" as well?

Anyway, for the monthly trigger, I need to review it to make it more accurate than just running every 4 weeks.

I looked into it, and you can do it utilizing schtasks.exe, but i noticed anti malware software does not like that, so hopefully someone other than me can come up with a solution, as I would love to be able to choose what day of the month the updates run on.

I updated this to use the dayofweek in the monthy selection as well.

Don't forget to increase the revisions of the files in the headers so that the files are actually imported correctly in AD! |
supported version of admx file.

I think the next WAU version should be here, @KnifMelti?

ADMX/ADML is a mess to handle.
The one proposed is already in the header of ADMX and introducing something new must be mirrored in those strings:
<supportedOn>
<definitions>
<definition name="SUPPORTED_WAU_1_16_0" displayName="$(string.SUPPORTED_WAU_1_16_0)" />
<definition name="SUPPORTED_WAU_1_16_5" displayName="$(string.SUPPORTED_WAU_1_16_5)" />
<definition name="SUPPORTED_WAU_EXPERIMENTAL"
displayName="$(string.SUPPORTED_WAU_EXPERIMENTAL)" />
</definitions>
</supportedOn>
<categories>
<category displayName="$(string.WAU)" name="WAU" />
<category name="Experimental" displayName="$(string.WAUEX)">
<parentCategory ref="WAU" />
</category>
</categories>
ADML(en-US):
<string id="WAU">Winget-AutoUpdate</string>
<string id="WAUEX">Experimental</string>
<string id="SUPPORTED_WAU_1_16_0">Winget-AutoUpdate version 1.16.0 or later</string>
<string id="SUPPORTED_WAU_1_16_5">Winget-AutoUpdate version 1.16.5 or later</string>
<string id="SUPPORTED_WAU_EXPERIMENTAL">Winget-AutoUpdate Experimental, subject to change, do
not use on PROD</string>
ADML(fr-FR):
<string id="WAU">Winget-AutoUpdate</string>
<string id="WAUEX">Expérimental</string>
<string id="SUPPORTED_WAU_1_16_0">Winget-AutoUpdate version 1.16.0 ou ultérieure</string>
<string id="SUPPORTED_WAU_1_16_5">Winget-AutoUpdate version 1.16.5 ou ultérieure</string>
<string id="SUPPORTED_WAU_EXPERIMENTAL">Winget-AutoUpdate Expérimental, sujet à changements,
ne pas utiliser en PROD</string>
|
And.. ..evrytime the files are ment to be imported into AD the revisions must be increased if there's been a change in them. |
|
If I may elaborate on this, I don't understand why there is a second WAU.adml (fr-FR) at all. It only complicates synchronization. I have not encountered anyone with a localized Domain Controller (DC) in their Active Directory; it is always en-US (when seeking help online, searching for GPO settings, troubleshooting, etc.). Who will translate the ADML files and keep them synchronized? |

I agree. It will be harder to maintain. Google Translate or ChatGPT can help administrators if necessary 😅 |
Proposed Changes
"Day of Week" feature. This allows you to specify the day of the week updates are run on using the Weekly or Bi-Weekly policy. If the Weekly or Bi-Weekly policy is selected, the policy script will check the DayofWeek registry value and update the schedule task appropriately. I also updated the ADMX and both English and French ADML files to allow for the new change.
