This information includes the date the change was made and the user who made the change, which can be useful during troubleshooting. See About history settings.

Types of distribution packages

Types of distribution packages

Attaching digital assets to applications and selecting supported operating systems

Packages can be distributed to managed devices as Managed Installations, File Synchronizations, User Console packages, and MSI installers.

•
Managed Installations: Installation packages that are configured to run silently or with user interaction. Managed Installations include installation, uninstallation, and command-line parameters. See Using Managed Installations.
•
File Synchronizations: A method of distributing files to managed devices. Unlike Managed Installations, however, File Synchronizations do not install files; they simply distribute files. See Create and use File Synchronizations.
•
User Console packages: Installation packages that contain printer drivers and other applications distributed through the User Console. See About Service Desk.
•
MSI Installer template: A utility for creating policies and setting basic command line arguments for running Windows MSI-based installers. See Add MSI Installer scripts.

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.
