You can create Managed Installations for Mac OS X devices as needed.
To distribute applications to managed devices, you must attach the digital assets, which are the files required for installation, to the application. In addition, you must select the supported operating systems for the application. See Attach digital assets to applications and select supported operating systems.

Next, the appliance searches for all plain applications (APP) on the top level of the archive and copies them to the Applications folder using the following command:
A name that identifies the Managed Installation. This name appears on the Managed Installations page. | |||||||||||||||
The package deployment setting. Options include:
| |||||||||||||||
Indicate if you want to deploy the software title from Cataloged Software or all Software by selecting one of these options.
| |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
Specify a location from which files can be downloaded for a specific Managed Installation. Path: Enter the location where the KACE Agent can retrieve digital installation files. Checksum: Enter an alternate checksum (MD5) that matches the MD5 checksum on the remote file share. If no checksum is entered, the digital asset on the file share must match the digital asset associated with the deployment package on the appliance. Also, the target path must include the complete filename (for example, \\fileserver_one\software\adobe.exe). You can create the checksum using any tool, including KDeploy.exe, which is installed with the KACE Agent. To create the checksum using KDeploy.exe: Windows 32-bit devices: C:\Program Files\Quest\KACE Windows 64-bit devices: C:\Program Files (x86)\Quest\KACE Mac OS X devices: /Library/Application Support/Quest/KACE/bin
Where filename is the UNC path to the file. If the path contains spaces, enclose the entire path in double quotation marks.
Credential: The details of the service account required to connect to the device and run commands. Select existing credentials from the drop-down list, or select Add new credential to add credentials not already listed. See Add and edit User/Password credentials. See Distributing packages from alternate download locations and Replication Shares and Add or edit manual labels. | |||||||||||||||

Using File Synchronizations, you can push out any type of file to Agent-managed devices.
The string KACE_ALT_Location in the Alternate Location field is replaced with the value assigned by the corresponding label. You should not have a device in more than one label with an Alternate Location specified.
