Configuring the default settings for Managed
Software Delivery
Software Management Solution settings control the behavior of the
software-related policies and tasks. The default settings let administrators create
policies and tasks without having to enter the details that they are not familiar
with. Instead, a more experienced administrator can configure the default settings
that apply to all the policies and tasks that are created. When necessary, the
administrator who runs the specific policies and tasks can change the settings.

Configuration settings control the behavior of Managed Software Delivery policies.
Rather than configuring these settings individually for each policy, you can
configure the default settings that apply to all new Managed Software Delivery
policies. Then you can change the settings for a specific policy only when needed.
The default settings speed the creation of Managed Software Delivery policies
and promote consistency among them.
You can override the default settings for Managed Software Delivery as follows:
When you create a Managed Software Delivery policy manually
When you edit an existing Managed Software Delivery policy
Source of default settings
All new Managed Software Delivery policies inherit the
default settings that are defined in the Managed Delivery
Settings. You can override the default settings for specific
Managed Software Delivery policies.
See
"Configuring the default settings for Managed Software
Delivery"
on page 54.
Some of the task settings are predefined. Other settings for
these tasks are obtained from the Task Management settings
or the Altiris Agent settings. You can override the settings
for specific tasks.
See
"Advanced options for tasks in Software Management
Solution"
on page 70.
