You can also initiate this action from a Configuration Manager client computer by selecting the action Application Deployment Evaluation Cycle from the Actions tab of Configuration Manager in Control Panel. In the below example I am creating a application for Adobe Reader and this will be deployed to the user group. You can take any application of your choice and follow the below screenshots. Enter the information about the application and choose the Install behavior as Install for User and click Next and complete the App creation wizard.
Since we will be deploying the application to the users, we will first create a group in active directory and add the user to that group. Click Next. Click Add Rule and select Query Rule. Specify a name for the query and Click Edit Query Statement. On the Query Statement Properties window click on tab named Criteria and click on yellow icon.
Set the Value as the name of the group that you created in your active directory. In this example BPO Users is the group that is created in active directory that contains user named Eric. Next we will deploy the application to the user collection. Right click the Adobe application and click Deploy. Click Next and complete the wizard. The software has been deployed to the user group.
When you click the link you will be prompted for user authentication, provide the username and password of logged in user account. When you click Application Catalog , we see the Adobe application over there.
We see that there is one request from the user Eric. To approve the application, right click the application and click Approve. Click on OK. Click on Install to install the application. You can always check you application requests by clicking on My Application Requests.
Thanks in advance. I need to deploy the package and install them as well without any needed action from the client user. Will the install start at PM? Do I need to change anything above? But if access the client remotely, and run the setup. Do I need to give path for local cache in my application setting. Command line to install the setup file from the same location is not working. If I run the same command from CMD from the client, it is working fine.
Thanks Prajwal. How to give the path of the local cache content in my application deployment? How to define the path in application that it should from the local cached content. You define the source path of the app while configuring the app and rest of the deployment is taken care by SCCM. Application is 2 GB in size. As per Adobe, we can not install it from Network share. It has to get copied locally on the client and then need to run the setup from there.
How can I define this path in application or during deploying process. If you run this query now, you should get a return which looks much tidier. Well, you can do that too, if you have a number of set collections be it for machine types or for departments etc, then you may want to just return all installed software on all machines within the Finance department….
Once you have your Collection ID, you need to make a declaration in your SQL query, so you should add the following to the start of your query:. So, if we use the full query from above, your new SQL query which is now based only on machines within the declared Collection, it should look like this:. If you want to expand the data that is returned, you can always either join more tables or run the following query and select the columns that you want:.
We have now created a guide that will help you to create your SSRS reports based on the data that this guide will pull into the Configuration Manager database.

Always test ANY suggestion in a test environment before implementing! I had seen this way to add a single computer in a collection, but I think that's a very inefficient way especially talking about a robust software like SCCM The company I work we use a solution of CA, the DSM, this solution have the option to send packets to one or more computers the way we want. The option to do this in a more simple and natural way does not seem difficult to implement, it may be a matter of concept for Microsoft but I see it as essential on my environment.
Yes, it may seem a bit too much work for only one computer. However, if it's only one computer, or a handful, there is another way. The strength of SCCM comes in the fact that this product is very flexible when it comes to deploying applications.
In case you didn't know, with SCCM you can tie a deployment applications not only to a computer, but also to a user or users. So, if you have a handful of users say, maybe three users , then you can have those users request that application, and they can install it themselves by going to the Application Catalog.
For the application catalog to work, you'll need to install: Application Catalog web service point and Application catalog website point. Again, SCCM provides you so many different ways that the challenge comes with picking the solution that best works for you and your organization. One other thing I've found a bit challenging with SCCM, the documentation from Microsoft can be a bit confusing for new users they tend to assume that their readers already know the product ; however, you've come to the right place to ask for questions.
To add more onto what Edward said one of SCCM's strengths is that it is intended for simplifying administration of many computers.
If you have an on-going need for deploying software to single computers SCCM can be used for that.
