Patch My PC Publisher Preview Version 2.1.6.35 Released

This release contains a variety of features, improvements, and fixes, as noted below.

Note: Did I miss 33 preview builds???? No, you did not. Patch My PC has started to increment version numbers automatically as changes are reviewed and merged. The result is preview builds having multiple internal builds before a public preview is released.

Features

• Allow the same Azure group to be assigned multiple times for Intune assignments. This allows a group to be used as both an include, and an exclude.

• Pass variables into pre and post-scripts.
  • Note: the %ProductName% and %VendorName% variables are Base64 encoded when they are passed to the pre and post-scripts. It will need to be decoded. Patch My PC will provide a sample PowerShell snippet to decode the resulting parameter.
