Description
In its simplest form, Managed Software Delivery delivers a single software resource with
its associated package and command line. It downloads the software and installs it on the
managed computer according to a defined schedule. It does not perform a compliance
check and it always considers the computer to be compliant.
You can set the Managed Software Delivery schedule to repeat daily, weekly, monthly, or
yearly. The most common use of a recurring delivery is to check and remediate software
on the client computer.
Managed Software Delivery installs the software to a specific known state on the client
computer. On a recurring basis, Managed Software Delivery can perform a compliance
check to verify that the state is maintained. If the state of the software is out of compliance,
Managed Software Delivery performs a remediation to restore the correct state.
See
"About policy applicability, compliance, and remediation"
Managed Software Delivery checks the client computer for the dependencies of a software
resource that it delivers.
When a client computer does not contain the dependency software, Managed Software
Delivery can perform either of the following actions:
Trigger a compliance failure and stop the delivery.
Perform a remediation by installing the missing dependency.
