Attaching digital assets to applications and selecting supported operating systems

Attaching digital assets to applications and selecting supported operating systems

To distribute applications to managed devices using Managed Installations or User Console downloads, you need to attach the appropriate digital assets to applications. Digital assets are the files required for deployment, such as installers. In addition, you need to select the supported operating systems for the application. You perform these tasks on the Software detail page.

This rule applies even if:

•
You want to send a command, rather than an installation or a digital file, to devices.
•
You are redirecting the KACE Agents installed on managed devices to retrieve the digital asset, such as EXE or MSI files, from an alternate download location.

See Attach digital assets to applications and select supported operating systems.

Distributing packages from the appliance

Distributing packages from the appliance

Packages distributed from the appliance are deployed to managed devices only if the inventory item is designated to run on the device’s operating system.

For example, if the inventory item is designated for Windows 7 only, the inventory item is not deployed to devices running Windows 8.

Also, packages are deployed only to devices that meet label requirements. For example, if the package is set to deploy to a label named Office A, the package does not deploy to devices that are not labeled Office A. When the appliance creates an application inventory item, it only records the operating systems on which the item was installed in the inventory detail record.

To deploy Managed Installations, you must select an execution option and a deployment window. See Using Managed Installations.

Distributing packages from alternate download locations and Replication Shares

Distributing packages from alternate download locations and Replication Shares

About alternate download locations
About Replication Shares

You can distribute packages from alternate download locations and Replication Shares.

This distribution is useful when:

•
You have remote sites with restricted bandwidth that might have trouble accessing the appliance.
•
You want to avoid storing large distribution packages on the appliance.

About alternate download locations

About alternate download locations

Alternate download locations are managed devices that can host the files required to distribute software from the appliance to other managed devices.

An alternate download location can be any network location that has all the files required to install a particular application. You can distribute packages from alternate download locations including a UNC address or DFS source. The CIFS and SMB protocols, Samba servers, and file server appliances are supported. You specify the location when you create a Managed Installation.

See Attach digital assets to applications and select supported operating systems.
