Update application but leave as 'Available'

Recommended Posts

In our Environment, we have a list of third party applications that users can download through Software Centre, such as Chrome, Firefox, iTunes etc. They can then uninstall if they wish.

 

I have a collection for each app that queries all users that have downloaded this respective app and want to now deploy an updated version. It's easy enough to deploy the latest .msi file and uninstall the outdated version. However this deployment will be a 'Required' install and the user won't be able to uninstall it if they so desire.

 

If I use the 'Supersede' function, this will rely on the user performing the download of the updated app, which they shouldn't have to do.

 

Is there a way to quietly auto-update these applications and still allow the user to uninstall completely if they no longer wish to use it? Or am I totally on the wrong track?

 

Using SCCM 2012 SP1 CU3, all end users have Windows 7SP1.

Thanks
