Managed Installations (MI) are the primary mechanism for deploying applications to, or removing applications from managed devices. Each Managed Installation describes a specific application title and version to be installed or removed, including installation commands, installation files, and target devices (identified by label).

Managed Installations always take place at the same time that managed devices upload inventory data to the appliance. In this way, the appliance confirms that the installation is actually needed before it performs the installation. Installation packages can be configured to run silently or with user interaction. Managed Installations can include installation, uninstallation, and command-line parameters.

Managed Installations requires an active network connections to the appliance. If the connection becomes disrupted during an installation, the process continues when the agent reconnects.

On Windows the most common Managed Installation package deployments are MSI, EXE, and ZIP files.

Supported package deployments for Linux devices include RPM, ZIP, BIN, TGZ, and TAR.GZ files.

Adding applications to inventory

Adding applications to inventory

Before you create a Managed Installation, the files you want to deploy must be associated with an application on the Software page. If the application is not yet on the Software page, you can add it as needed.

To add an application that is not on the Software page, you can:

•
Install the application on a managed device, then request an inventory update from the device. See Forcing inventory updates.
•
Manually add the application to inventory. See Add applications to Software page inventory manually.
CAUTION:
 
CAUTION: If the display name of the application inventory item does not exactly match the name that the application registers in Add/Remove programs, the appliance might attempt to deploy a package repeatedly even though it is already there. To solve this problem, add the application to the Software inventory list, then use the registered application name in the Managed Installation.

About creating Managed Installations

About creating Managed Installations

You can create Managed Installations for items that appear on the Software page.

See:

•
Create Managed Installations for Windows devices
•
Create Managed Installations for Mac OS X devices
•
Create Managed Installations for RPM files
•
Create Managed Installations for TAR.GZ files
•
Create Managed Installations for ZIP files

To create packages with special settings, such as parameters, labels, or deployment definitions, you can create multiple distribution packages for a single inventory item. However, the Managed Installation cannot be verified against more than one inventory item because it checks for the existence of only one inventory item.

For each of these examples, you must have already uploaded the file to the appliance before creating the Managed Installation package. Quest recommends installing the application on a test device, waiting for the KACE Agent to connect to the appliance and create an inventory item for the application, and then creating the Managed Installation package from the application.

* 
NOTE: Agent deployment is discussed in Provisioning the KACE Agent. For information about updating an existing version of the Agent, see Upload Agent updates manually.

About installation parameters

About installation parameters

You can add installation parameters to the package definitions used to distribute and install applications on managed devices.

Packaged definitions can contain MSI, EXE, ZIP, and other file types for application deployment. If an administrator installs the file on a local device, either by running a single file, BAT file, or VBScript, the package can be installed remotely by the appliance.

To simplify the distribution and installation process, the package definition can also contain parameters that are passed to the installer at run time on the local device. For example, you could use parameters as custom installation settings to bypass an automatic restart.
