Install software depending on computername

We use a naming scheme at work for our computers. The name starts with (L for laptop, D for desktop, M for mac) and then the asset tag for the device.

We are in the process of setting up AnyConnect for our users and need to check if it is installed and install it it if it is not.

So I’m thinking check if the computername starts with “L” (case doesn’t matter) and then check if AnyConnect is installed. If not, then install and copy the XML file to the location for the settings file goes.

The XML file would be copied to C:\ProgramData\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client\Profile after the program installs.
