Application deployment - behaviour query

[nry]

Hi all,

 

Courtesy of these excellent guides, I have the SC 2012 RTM running on a test network.

 

I am not yet quite clued up on how Application Deployment should behave.

 

For example, I created an Application for Adobe Flash Player using the licenced MSI for.

 

I ran through the wizard to import this MSI and then distributed the content.

 

I then deployed it to a computer collection as a 'Required' application, 'As soon as possible'.

 

After hours of waiting, it is still not installed on any computer within the collection.

 

I recall from our setup with the previous SCCM 2012 RC, that we had similar issues. We deployed Flash Player as above, and one PC in the collection picked it up very quickly, the other one didn't do anything until the following day.

 

So far as I can tell, I have set the clients to check for new deployments every 5 minutes, yet still nothing has taken place.

 

Am I missing anything obvious with SCCM? We are looking to use it in a school environment, however at present the way that application deployment behaves is making this aspect of it a touch useless - if anyone has any pointers then I'd be very appreciative

 

Thanks for any reply,

 

Chris

OK I believe I have found the issue - whilst BITS was disabled within the SCCM Client Settings, it was enabled (not sure how) in GPO and limited to 10kbps! Applications were being downloaded but incredibly slowly. Once I turned it off via GPO things began to happen!
