Is there a location that has an index of Post install Task details?

I was tasked with setting up our imaging and during our training the guy was fantastic for very basic programs like chrome/firefox/reader etc. But as I got further into this I noticed he didn't show me how to set up installs that are located on our network share such as:

Office 2016

Symantec Endpoint

Backblaze

and a couple other programs we have set up to just install over the network. I would like to get all these scripted but I am having trouble on finding much of a guide or anything in depth on how to set up Post-installation task details.


Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Post installation tasks are Executed from the Windows Desktop via Command Prompt, if you can do it from CMD, then a Post Install is capable of doing it.

1- Map the Network Share to whatever letter you need
2- Call for the ZIP\EXE\MSI you need OR, Execute a BAT File with the desired instructions

3- Remove the mapped drive (if you
