Application installations with Winget in System Context during Intune Windows Autopilot

[yannara]

I have been following Winget almost since its beginning and latelly I have taken new approach so since we all know that Winget should no be capable of running under System Context, I am trying to install (2 apps in this example) during Autopilot. The script is below and there is 2 problems with it:

1. This works 50/50, sometimes it manages to update the app, but usually computers from Autopilot arrives without these software.
2. I can't really get decend log of it, start-transcript does not log anything, just some header info. It does not log any errors what happends during winget commands.

Any suggestions what I should improve in the script? You can also download it from: https://github.com/yannara/Intune/blob/main/Winget_apps_v1.6.ps1

I finally got an opportunaty to test this script with psexec.exe and I learned that winget just does not pick up winget repository, even after reset source and update. Updating winget source gets cancelled. Attempt to updating Winget with url msix file does not work in system context, so it cannot be done. So this is no go to Intune unless there is another way to fix the source problem I haven't figure out yet.
