I need a pointer to some How-to's or samples. I just completed the on-line Altiris training and I'm trying to 'Set it and forget it!'.
I'm starting with an opensource application we use called PDFCreator.
Newly discovered/undefined software shows: 10 versions. 0.8.0, 0.9.2, 0.9.3, ..., 1.2.2.
Managed software shows: PDFCreator 1.2.3 (company pdfforge GbR), 1.2.3 (company Frank ...), 1.4.0 (company Frank ...), 1.4.1 (company Frank ...).
Metered Software, Usage Tracking shows: PDFCreator 1.4.0 (Company pdfforge GbR).
Deliverable Software Software releases shows: PDFCreator 1.2.3 (pdfforge GbR), 1.4.0 (pdfforge Gbr) and 1.4.1 (pdfforge GbR0
We had a task to install PDFCreator 1.2.3.
I downloaded and created a software package for 1.4.0. I told it to supersede all other releases.
I noticed there was a 1.4.1 release. I downloaded it. Created a software package and installed it on one PC.
How do I resolve the Company? pdfforge GbR vs Frank Heindorfer, Philip Chinery. Have the same problem with WinZip, the Company name has changed 4 or 5 times.
How do I associate programs so I can meter? Should I install the application on a PC before I create the package, run software inventory and then move from newly discoverd to managed?
There is more, but I'll be happy to figure out this part.
P.S. This is my first post, so if I'm doing something wrong please point me in the right direction.
