System Center 2012 - Managing Software Distribution and Deployment by Using Packages and Programs (MOC10747.S6)

Beschreibung

Traditionally, Microsoft® Systems Management Server 2003 and Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 product lines utilized packages and programs for deploying software. System Center 2012 Configuration Manager introduced the concept of applications, which provides a new software deployment model that is more flexible than the conventional packages and programs. However, this did not eliminate the need to use packages and programs.

Typically, you will deploy software to computers running Windows and Apple OS X by using applications.

However, you can still use packages and programs in many situations for Windows-based computers. For example, you can deliver content to Windows-based clients to support running scripts. Additionally, you can use packages and programs to deploy content to Linux and UNIX-based computers.

This module is the first of many that focus on software deployment. This module describes how to manage software by using packages and programs, while subsequent modules cover the applicationmanagement model.
