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!

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
