Process for delivering multiple software resources and tasks
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.
See "Creating 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.
Define the schedule for the entire policy. You can schedule the
compliance check and the remediation separately.
When you use the Managed Software Delivery wizard to create the
policy, you can define the schedule during the wizard.
See "Schedule settings for Managed Software Delivery"
You can add multiple software resources and tasks when you create
the policy without the Managed Software Delivery wizard. When you
use the Managed Software Delivery wizard to create the policy, you
can select only one software resource. Edit the policy to add software
and tasks.
See "Policy Rules/Actions: Software tab"
Move the software resources and tasks up or down in the list to
rearrange their order. Plan the sequence before you enable the policy.
