The policies and the tasks that perform Windows Installer repairs or source path
updates use the Application Management agent. When these tasks or these policies
run on managed computers, they install the agent if it is not already installed.
The Application Management agent works with Windows Installer to help you
manage Windows Installer applications.
See
"About managing Windows Installer applications"

Lets you select the first server to use as a source path. You
can click Any Server or you can select a specific server from
the list. The package server that you select must be
accessible to the computers that are specified in the policy.

serve as the source paths for Windows Installer applications.
