State-based Application Management

´ Detection Method
´ Enable systems to determine whether or not an application is already present on a system
´ Many system attributes play into presence of an application on a system (registry, file versions, MSI database, etc.)
´ Detection is the key to any state based software distribution system
´ In ConfigMgr 2007
´ Collection rule targeting and status messages
´ Fire and forget software deployment model
´ Run once or schedules
´ Download and execution even if the software is already installed
´ In ConfigMgr 2012
´ Rules determine applicability of software
´ Presence determines if any action should take place on device
´ Regular evaluation to check for and enforce compliances



Requirement Rule in 2012
State-based Application Management

´ Properties of users and/or devices that makes delivering software appropriate
´ Rules are per deployment types
´ Evaluated in real time on clients
´ Evaluated before content is downloaded


Dependencies

´ Other deployment types that must be present in order for the current application deployment type to be installed
´ Dependencies are modeled as applications and can also be deployed independently
´ Two dependency uses:
´ Dependency not present, dont install application
´ Dependency not present, auto install dependent applications

Content Distribution

´ Distribution Point Groups
´ Can be linked to Collection for workflow optimization
´ Automatic distribution of content for distribution point added to the group

´ Distribute Content Wizard
´ Send multiple packages to multiple distribution points or groups at once
´ Detect Application dependencies and add them to the distribution
´ Select a task sequence and distribute all related content

´ Content Library
´ One source for multiple application, packages, update packages, etc.
´ Only files required by the distribution point are distributed over the network.
´ Bandwidth Control
´ Customize time and bandwidth utilization on distribution points



Deployment

´ Replaces Advertisement from Configuration Manager 2007
´ Created when an Application is deployed to the Collection
´ Due to applications being state based, only deploy to a collection once
´ Provides setting for Pre-deployment feature when targeting user or user security group collections


User Device Affinity

´ User Centric Software Distribution
´ Provides the ability to define a relation between a user and a device
´ Allows the admin to think user first, while also ensuring the application not installed everywhere the user logs on
´ Configuration Manager 2012 supports
´ Single primary user to primary device
´ Multiple primary device per user
´ Multiple primary users per device
´ The system allows both administrator and user to define this relationship
Introducing Application Uninstall

´ Uninstall is now part of Application Model
´ State-based application deployment includes removal of software in addition to installation
´ The App model defines an uninstall method for each Deployment type of an Application.
´ If a user or device is the recipient of both an install and uninstall deployment, then the install wins and the application is not removed


Application Supersedence

´ The ability for the admin to create a relationship and declare one application newer than another previous application. Ultimately resulting in the newer application replacing the older application.
´ Supersedence relationship is defined at both application level and deployment type.
´ Relationship Manager shows supersedence relationship
