Deploying Application

[slice16]

Hi All,

 

I have followed the firefox deployment guide on this site and set up an Advertisment to install firefox to all machines that are a member of the sw-firefox group in my AD.

 

The software is downloaded to the cache folder but isn't installed. The user is not notified at any stage. The application doesn't show in 'Run advertised software' either. This is the same for any package I create. The help would be highly appreciated.

 

Thanks

first of all the firefox guide only shows you how to install an app, if you want to install apps based on active directory security groups then that's another thing altogether and you can do it using a task sequence or via AD groups linked to collections

 

back to the firefox guide, did you get that to work ? is your advertisement Mandatory or optional ? if you want it to appear in the RAP (run advertised programs) make it optional

 

cheers

Hi Niall,

 

Thanks for the reply. Sorry for my delay getting back to you, just got back to work.

 

I have configured the collection for all machines in a specific AD group as recommended in your article, and the installer now works

 

How do I make the package optional? I can't see an option anywhere.

 

Thanks,

in the advertisement, under schedule, if 'as soon as possible' is selected it's mandatory, just remove it, then it's optional
