Deploying Software

[newbie]

Hello All,

 

 

I customized a free source software and deployed it through SCCM to my test machine.It was ditributed to only one DP.I chekced 'Download content locally' instead of 'Run from distribution point'.It got downlaoded in the CCM/cache folder and installed the software without any problems.However when i added two more computers to the collection the software got downloaded but did not get installed on them.I uninstalled the software in my machine and changed the program properties to 'Run with Administrative rights' instead of User rights and also chnaged the advertisement properties to 'download directly from distribution point'.This time the software got installed on the new two machines but not to my test machine.What could be the reason ?

as the advertisement already ran on your computer it's working as designed, if you want it to run again on your computer create a new advertisement or use right click tools or similar to re-run it

Thank you.In this case would not the report say 'it cannot because it was previouly run' in the advertisement status.I didn't get that

 

 

btw what should decide whether it will be 'user rights' or 'run with admin rights' ?

Nope,since you have removed the package from the test machine(if the machine reported back to server on the successful removal of it) and as per the schdule,it should install automatically.You can try using right click tools to rerun the ADV on test computer.

 

recomended is to use :"run with administrative rights" option since,this option forces the program to run under the local system account on the client computer.
