App deployment after OS re-installation

[Quackers]

Hi, thinking of changing to SCOM 2007 for our software deployment (currently just push out via group policy with MSI's). Like the way you can push software while users are still logged on.

 

Got all that part working, can push software out no issue. When we reinstall Windows its not attempting to reinstall the Applications. Why is this?

Hello,

 

I assume you're talking about SCCM rather than SCOM? SCOM is for systems monitoring.

 

Anyway, SCCM OSD won't automatically attempt to reinstall applications -- you'll have to define your application packages and add app install task sequence items to your task sequence.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Cheers,
