Software Management Question

Hi All,

I have a question related setting up software deployment in CMS 7. In version 6, we had collections setup as what we called "Software Roles" that had various software policies pointing at them set to install ASAP. So, when the desktop team needed to build a PC for a specific area, they put the computer in that collection and it automatically was provisioned with all the right software.

In CMS 7, what would be the best method for accomplishing this process?

Is it best to create a filter that will serve as the group that a computer is added to, then have a "Managed Software Delivery" setup to point to a target that includes that filter?

I am going to use CMS 7 SP1... Thanks for your help!

Computer List

One of the supported options as a filter is a Computer List.  This would allow you to explicitly define which computers will receive the Managed Delivery policy.  The other option is to build a dynamic filter, which, when certain criteria is met, will automatically add computers to be targeted by the policy.
