shockwave Posted May 17, 2014 Report post Posted May 17, 2014 I'm currently writing a thesis about SCCM. I'd like to write more about SCCM and Linux (because we've had a lot of Linux classes). I've found out how to install the SCCM client on Linux, this was easy to find. Apparantly it is possible to use in SCCM to: -deploy software to linux using packages (not applications) -install program updates -install OS updates But I can't find any examples of this. Does anyone have or know interesting examples for this? The only thing I found was this link that deploys a command to linux, and it doesn't even work for me. http://blogs.technet.com/b/michaelgriswold/archive/2013/09/02/testing-software-deployment-for-a-linux-machine.aspx Any advice would be much appreciated.

shockwave Posted May 25, 2014 Report post Posted May 25, 2014 the only thing I actually found was this: http://blogs.technet.com/b/michaelgriswold/archive/2013/09/02/testing-software-deployment-for-a-linux-machine.aspx which deploys a script. I didn't succeed in getting it to run though. Nothing happend. In some podcast I found they showed a package which installed a program on a RPM-based linux using the command rpm <filename>. I tried something like that with deb-files (I use Debian) and the command dkpg -i packagename.db. It failed too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
