Github custom-image-template-scripts

Hello,

I wanted to use the scripted action to install Language Packs but I just noticed that the script is only available in the NMW Github Repository(https://github.com/Get-Nerdio/NMW). NMM per default uses the NMM repo.

This is the script I'd like to use: https://github.com/Get-Nerdio/NMW/blob/main/scripted-actions/custom-image-template-scripts/Install%20language%20packs.ps1

Should I just link the NMW repository in Nerdio NMM or would it make sense to have the custom image template scripts also available in the NMM repository?

Regards

Philipp

That GitHub repo is from our Nerdio Manager for Enterprise tool.
You could sync that to your NMM instance, but where we have many of the same scripts, you'll want to make sure you filter it to that specific folder that you're wanting. (see GitHub Integration – Nerdio Help Center)

However, I think your original ask is to add that folder of scripts to NMM?
Out of curiosity, how many of those "Custom Image Template" scripts do you think your team would use for your customers?

Yes my orignial thought was to add that folder to the NMM repository so I don't have to add the NMW repository since it contains mostly the same scripts.
So far I only planned to use the Install Language Packs script. But I might also use the "Enable Windows optimizations for AVD.ps1" or "Remove AppX packages.ps1".

NMM has got some VDOT Scripts as well but they seem to be quite old like "Virtual Desktop Optimizations (20H2)"

Very cool.
Where it's just a repo (and already passed approval in NME), it shouldn't be a big lift to add this into NMM as well. 
Our product team will add this to the backlog so it can be included in a future release. 🙂

Hi, today I just tried to link the NME github repository in NMM. But it seems like NMM is missing the option to chose a parameter while running the script. Here are the screenshots:

So it looks like you can't really use those scripts in NMM at the moment. But maybe it would make sense to have the parameter option here as well?

Bummer!
Some of those scripts have parameters that don't pass-through to NMM too well because we don't have that functionality, yet.
However, where it's already in NME, that does make it a little easier to port the feature over to NMM.

It looks like there is another request for the same functionality (Request - Script/Runbook Variable field – Nerdio Help Center) that may do what you're wanting.
Do you think their request will work or do you think you'll need?

Yes, it looks like this feature request is exactly what I was looking for. And i guess since it's already there in NME it could be brought to NMM as well.

FYI, just came across a script from your NMM-SE Github Repository. Looks like some of your Sales Engineers found a nice way to configure script parameters using Variables. This one should do the trick for us :)

Very good find!
I'm glad that will work for you until we're able to add more functionality to the product.
