Create a Custom Detection Script for Lenovo System Update (PowerShell)

Microsoft Endpoint Manager Configuration Manager (MEMCM / SCCM) and Microsoft Intune use Detection Rules to determine the presence of Applications & Win32 Apps. The detection rules ensure that application installations only begin to run if the application is not already installed on the device. This article will serve as an informative guide and give you a clear understanding of how to create an updated custom detection script for each new version of Lenovo System Update using PowerShell.

How to Create a Custom Detection Script for Lenovo System Update

Lenovo System Update (File Detection Method)

Install the version of Lenovo System Update you want to deploy on a test box or VM

  - Lenovo System Update Install and Uninstall (PowerShell)
Open Windows PowerShell ISE by Right-Clicking on Windows PowerShell ISE and selecting Run as Administrator
Copy the following code into the Windows PowerShell ISE

## Check for Lenovo System Update (File Detection Method)
$LenovoSUExe = (Get-ChildItem -Path "C:\Program Files\Lenovo\System Update\tvsu.exe","C:\Program Files (x86)\Lenovo\System Update\tvsu.exe" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)
$LenovoSUExe.FullName
$LenovoSUPath = $($LenovoSUExe.FullName).Replace("C:\Program Files\","").Replace("C:\Program Files (x86)\","")
$FileVersion = (Get-Item -Path "$($LenovoSUExe.FullName)" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).VersionInfo.FileVersionRaw

## Create Text File with Lenovo System Update File Detection Method
$FilePath = "C:\Windows\Temp\Lenovo_System_Update_Detection_Method.txt"
New-Item -Path "$FilePath" -Force
Set-Content -Path "$FilePath" -Value "If([String](Get-Item -Path `"`$Env:ProgramFiles\$LenovoSUPath`",`"`${Env:ProgramFiles(x86)}\$LenovoSUPath`" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).VersionInfo.FileVersionRaw -ge `"$FileVersion`"){"
Add-Content -Path "$FilePath" -Value "Write-Host `"Installed`""
Add-Content -Path "$FilePath" -Value "Exit 0"
Add-Content -Path "$FilePath" -Value "}"
Add-Content -Path "$FilePath" -Value "else {"
Add-Content -Path "$FilePath" -Value "Exit 1"
Add-Content -Path "$FilePath" -Value "}"
Invoke-Item $FilePath

Click Run Script (F5)
A text file will open with the Lenovo System Update Detection Method script required to detect the current version of Lenovo System Update that is installed on the device you are running the script from.

Example:

If([String](Get-Item -Path "$Env:ProgramFiles\Lenovo\System Update\tvsu.exe","${Env:ProgramFiles(x86)}\Lenovo\System Update\tvsu.exe" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).VersionInfo.FileVersionRaw -ge "5.7.0.140"){
Write-Host "Installed"
Exit 0
}
else {
Exit 1
}

$LenovoSU.DisplayVersion
$LenovoSU.PSChildName

## Create Text File with Lenovo System Update Registry Detection Method
$FilePath = "C:\Windows\Temp\Lenovo_System_Update_Detection_Method.txt"
New-Item -Path "$FilePath" -Force
Set-Content -Path "$FilePath" -Value "If([Version](Get-ItemPropertyValue -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\$($LenovoSU.PSChildName)','HKLM:\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\$($LenovoSU.PSChildName)' -Name DisplayVersion -ea SilentlyContinue) -ge '$($LenovoSU.DisplayVersion)') {"
Add-Content -Path "$FilePath" -Value "Write-Host `"Installed`""
Add-Content -Path "$FilePath" -Value "Exit 0"
Add-Content -Path "$FilePath" -Value "}"
Add-Content -Path "$FilePath" -Value "else {"
Add-Content -Path "$FilePath" -Value "Exit 1"
Add-Content -Path "$FilePath" -Value "}"
Invoke-Item $FilePath

Click Run Script (F5)
A text file will open with the Lenovo System Update Detection Method script required to detect the current version of Lenovo System Update that is installed on the device you are running the script from.

Example:

If([Version](Get-ItemPropertyValue -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\TVSU_is1','HKLM:\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\TVSU_is1' -Name DisplayVersion -ea SilentlyContinue) -ge '5.07.0140') {
Write-Host "Installed"
Exit 0
}
else {
Exit 1
}
