Deploy software through AD Groups linked to Collections in SCCM

[jamitupya]

Hi All,

i've been trying to figure this out for a while but keep failing totally and in utter dispair i need to ask how i can do this

 

I want to deploy software through AD Groups linked to Collections in SCCM.

 

Is there an easy way to do this, can somebody give me a basic run down on how this should occur? i want to learn it but it is just one elusive SOB at the moment :S

 

Cheers

Two new questions:

-I'm still having issues with it updating quickly. Can someone tell me what changes I need to make to do this?

-After I run this query for the collection, how do I have it update the collection when a computer is removed? I.E. I have a computer in the AD group that builds the collection but then I remove the computer from that group. Can I have it automatically remove it from the collection?

On the first one: The more often you run discoveries and (auto) update collections, the quicker new objects are updating in collections (but you need to find a balance between how often you update and the load it will generate).

On the second one: Is also done with running the discovery and updating the collection...

I must be missing something then. I added a computer to an AD group and it was added. I then remove it and it isn't removed from the collection. I did this close to two weeks ago.

I'm still having problems with this. If I add a new active directory group the "All Active Directory Security Groups" collection shows the new group. Membership for the groups is never updated though. If I look at the properties of a client in the "All Desktops and Servers" collection, System Group Name is never updated with the new groups, even though the computer is a member of that group in active directory. I also noticed that "AD Domain Name" is set to "<null>" and if I try to edit the Active Directory "Discovery Methods", the "Custom LDAP or GC query" Browse button only shows my parent domain. I can't select my child domain even though that is where the SCCM server is located. It worked when I first set it up but now it isn't. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can troubleshoot this?

I have decided to start using this method of deploying some of our most-requested software by using AD groups. I have the process down, but am wondering what people have set for their AD System Group Discovery polling interval? Mine is currently set at once a day but I wanting to reduce it so if a user requests software, then they'll have it installed when they come in the next day. I'm thinking maybe 12 hours or maybe 6 hours? I am running R3, but unfortuneately delta discovery doesn't solve this problem.

 

Thanks!

Well.. that really depends on how many clients, what the load the server can handle and maybe more impartant what the business demands...

 

I've seen settings in the range of 15 minutes until 8 hours...

Is there a way to to this kind of Application deployment with SCCM 2012? Global Conditions need to be set I think, has anyone tried?!

[Kevin79]

I too would be like to know this. We use this method to push out software with SCCM 2007 and would like to do it that same way with 2012.

So, I have this set up using Standalone mode via SCCM for my App-V apps. How do I prevent an application from running or remove it from the client without having to remote in and manually remove it from the Application Virtualization Client Management Console once a user no longer needs an application?

 

Scenario: I have computer part of Security Group "Mozilla Firefox", this computer no longer needs Mozilla Firefox, so I remove the computer from the "Mozilla Firefox" Security Group, this will prevent it being published to the computer. How can I automate the removal from the computer? Msiexec /x command?
