You can deliver multiple software resources and tasks with a single Managed Software Delivery policy. When Managed Software Delivery evaluates compliance for a group of software, only the software that is out of compliance is downloaded and installed. You can add any client task to the execution queue to perform custom operations before, during, or after the software remediation process. For example, you can add a task that performs a restart or runs a script.
See About delivering multiple software resources and tasks.
Table: Process for delivering multiple software resources and tasks
Step | Action | Description |
|---|---|---|
Step 1 | The options for creating a Managed Software Delivery policy are as follows:
| |
Step 2 | Select the delivery destinations. | Select the managed computers to deliver to. See About the destinations for a Managed Software Delivery policy. When you use the Managed Software Delivery wizard to create the policy, you select the destinations during the wizard. |
Step 3 | Schedule the policy. | Define the schedule for the entire policy. You can schedule the compliance check and the remediation separately. When you use the Managed Software Delivery wizard to create the policy, you can define the schedule during the wizard. |
Step 4 | Add the additional software resources and tasks to the policy. | You can add multiple software resources and tasks when you create the policy without the Managed Software Delivery wizard. When you use the Managed Software Delivery wizard to create the policy, you can select only one software resource. Edit the policy to add software and tasks. |
Step 5 | Arrange the sequence in which the software resources and tasks are run. | Move the software resources and tasks up or down in the list to rearrange their order. Plan the sequence before you enable the policy. |
Step 6 | (Optional) Change the settings for individual software resources or tasks. | When you add software resources and tasks to a Managed Software Delivery policy, they inherit the settings from the policy. You can change the settings for any specific software resource or task that is in the policy. The settings that you can change for a specific software resource or task include the remediation schedule, the download settings, and the run settings. |
