Description
Lets you select the command line to run. This list contains all the command lines
that are defined for the software resource that you selected. You can select a command
line other than the default command line that appears.
You can omit the command line if the package does not require one.
Lets you select the package to download if the command line requires a package. The
list contains all the packages that are associated with this software resource. The
package that is defined in the command line is the default.
You can omit the package if the command line does not require one. For example, if
the command line uninstalls a package that is already on the client computer.
Set the remediation of this software resource to occur on a different schedule than
the policy itself.
You can use this option to run one of the software resources or tasks during a
maintenance window because it affects the system resources.
For example, you create a Managed Software Delivery policy to roll out a new virus
checker application and then perform a full system scan. Because the scan can take
the entire maintenance window to run, you roll out the software silently during the
day. As a result, the full maintenance window is available for the scan task to run.
Change the settings for this software resource only. For example, you might download
this software s package to a different location or allow the user to interact with this
software s installation but not others.
See "Advanced options for tasks in Software Management Solution"
Uninstalls and replaces the software that this software supersedes. Select this option
when a software upgrade requires the earlier version of the software to be uninstalled
instead of updated.
This option is available only if you meet the following conditions:
You select a software resource that supersedes other software.
You select an installation command line.
For this option to work, the superseded software resource must have a default uninstall
command line.
Warning:
When you uninstall software from a client computer, you can break other
applications that depend on the uninstalled software.
