Delivering multiple software resources and tasks sequentially

Delivering multiple software resources and tasks
sequentially
Run a task that uses a script to set a registry key on the managed computer.
Determine whether the software resource or its dependencies are already
installed.
Install the software and any of its dependencies that are not already installed.
Run a task that performs a restart.
Install an additional software resource into a virtual layer because it is known
to conflict with other software that might be on the managed computer.
Run every week to determine whether the registry key is still correct and the
software is still installed.
Reset the registry key to the correct value if necessary.
Reinstall any software that the compliance check determines is broken or not
present.
The default settings for Managed Software Delivery determine what happens if
the policy fails. Initially, this setting is the same for each software resource and
task that the policy contains. You can edit the policy to override this setting for
each software resource and task. For example, if a critical execution in the sequence
fails, you can abort the remaining items in the sequence. Conversely, if a
less-critical execution fails, you might decide to run the subsequent tasks anyway.

You can deliver multiple software resources and tasks with a single Managed
Software Delivery policy. When Managed Software Delivery evaluates compliance
for a group of software, only the software that is out of compliance is downloaded
and installed. You can add any client task to the execution queue to perform
custom operations before, during, or after the software remediation process. For
example, you can add a task that performs a restart or runs a script.
