PDQ does the packaging. You do the deploying. You take all the credit. This is fine.
PDQ Connect includes a library of over 500 pre-built, PDQ-maintained software packages for Windows and macOS — this video walks through how the package library is organized, how to search and filter packages, and what's inside a package so you know exactly what's being deployed to your devices.
What's covered:
Overview of the PDQ Connect Packages tab and how the library is organized
How PDQ-maintained packages are separated from custom packages you build yourself
Creating folders to organize custom packages for your team
Searching and filtering the package list by name, source, OS, publisher, and version
How PDQ vets, maintains, and updates packages — including same-day updates for new releases
Package versioning: viewing the last several versions of any PDQ-maintained package
Inspecting a package's internals: installer steps, MSI parameters, success codes, and step conditions
How package step conditions control deployment behavior across servers and workstations
What's coming in Episode 7: building your own custom packages and scripts
