        There are some standards there that I go for but I'm looking at the following:

        • Googlechrome
        • firefox
        • skype
        • ccleaner
        • pdfcreator
        • virtualbox
        • dropbox
        • googledrive
        • chromium
          *maybe
        • python2
          *maybe
        • itunes
        • foxitreader
        • powerISO
          *maybe
        • greenshot

          Do you have a chocolatey script that you run on setup, or these are just ones that you run through?

          I have a document saved that I simply copy from on initial setup. Too many disparate clients to try and maintain scripts everywhere.

          The one client with an imaging process setup has this already in the base image.

            If you replace install with upgrade it will upgrade if it is there, if it is not there, it will install it.

                Because you want it to do only what you ask it to and not make assumptions?

                    How would you preform updates on a machine in that case?

                      For upgrading, I have a powershell script applied via Atera (testing) or scheduled task

                      I have it upgrade chocolatey first just to be safe. there were issues with things when they added the new checksum features between 0.9 and 0.10

                        You just use choco upgrade all -y to update everything that's installed.

                          Has anyone tried combining Chocolatey with something like Salt yet?

                                  I'm still a little bit salty about the whole thing.

                                        Workstations, but I could on the servers, but I don't deploy most of this junk to a server.

                                          I do use it on servers, just the list is much smaller.

                                          Typically

                                            Everywhere 🙂 It is the installer for some server components too, like SSH.
