I have been doing some reading, and am having trouble getting this one question answered. What is the preferred way to install software? I am creating a new VM deploy workflow, and am not sure how most people do this. Perhaps I am just missing something. Do people usually just use an external script called by part of the workflow, or is there a better way to do it?
I need to install things like SCOM, SCCM, AV, and some standard tools. Normally I would just use a script, copy the installer local, install, and then clean up. Is that bad when you are using vRA, and vRO?
Thanks
If you are licensed for vRA Enterprise, the preferable way is via software components. If not, there are a variety of other methods including vRO, guest scripts, config management tools (Puppet, Chef) and more.

That's exactly what I needed. Thanks.
