Process for performing advanced software deliveries
Description
The options for creating a Managed Software Delivery policy are as follows:
Use the Managed Software Delivery wizard.
The Managed Software Delivery wizard provides a quick way to create
and schedule a policy for a single software resource and its dependency
software. We recommend that you use the wizard because it can include
any dependency software and warn you of software associations
automatically.
See "Creating a Managed Software Delivery policy with the Managed
Software Delivery wizard"
Create the policy without the wizard.
Use this method to create a Managed Software Delivery policy when
you need to add multiple software resources and tasks or override the
default settings. You also can publish the policy to the Software Portal.
However, you must add any dependency software or determine software
associations yourself.
You can accomplish the same goals by editing a policy that you created
with the wizard.
See "Creating a Managed Software Delivery policy"
You can edit the Managed Software Delivery policy to change or add
functionality as follows:
Add software resources or tasks and arrange the order in which they
run.
Change the settings for the entire policy.
Change the settings for specific software resources and tasks.
Edit the schedule or the destinations.
See "Editing a Managed Software Delivery policy"
Select the managed computers to deliver to.
See "About the destinations for a Managed Software Delivery policy"
on page 114.
When you use the Managed Software Delivery wizard to create the policy,
you select the destinations during the wizard.
