This document is explained about new concept of software distribution process in SCCM 2012
SP1.This time Microsoft have started coding part in order to accomplish distribution in an
effective and efficient manner. Below are the important changes in SCCM 2012 SP1
2. A Help desk website has introduced with client for browse and request application
Following is the methods to create application type and deploy into a windows 8 machine
Package still it’s there with almost features in sccm 2007.Right click on application and select create
application.
2. Support below files for software distribution
.EXE

.CAB
.APPV
.APPX
.XAP
Windows Phone Package

APPSTORE
NOKIA .SIS
MAC OS X
3. Selected the installation files
4. Automatically set the installation command line for execution. Installation behavior is an advanced
option in SCCM 2012 because this time SCCM more focus on user level. We can modify the command
line if required .Select for user
This wizard complete. This is the simple method don’t have more configuration
If we want more advanced installation property please start the application creation as below
2. Select second option manually configures.
3. Select below
4. Because we need to configure more option for the deployment that facilitate our distribution.
And Mention who this the responsible person for application creation
5. This is related to how the “deploy app” appear in the application cataloge for user .Not explain each
and every option
New concept in SCCM 2012 “Deployment Type” will know more later
Click on “add”
Don’t confuse these windows with initially appeared !!
Here installation & Uninstallation command in same place!! .No more required to create separate
programs for both Allow clients to share is utilizing “Branch cache “of the windows 7/8 operating system
can eliminate more DP in branch office.
We can detect the presence of the application in the targeted machine!!
If it exists application will install because app have already installed. It will not try again
Select install for user
Click on add
Here we can configure the deployment that the client machine should be windows8 otherwise
application should not install in the client .There is lot of other option is there in category.
If applications have any dependencies then here need to configure. In SCCM 2012 we can assign
multiple dependencies not like single one in sccm 2007.
Before that we will create a user and collection for the deployment
We have a collection open mobile and a user is there in the collection named “user1”
Application is ready for the deployment click on “Deploy” at top of the ribbon
Click any of the Deploy button
Point out the collection where going to Deploy .if dependency is there it will automatically distribute the
content to distribution point.
Specify to which DP application need to upload
Select “Install”
Require administrator approval also a beautiful option added in the SCCM 2012 .User need to request
for the approval for installation in application cataloge.
There is available and required option .if we choose available then application will be visible to user in
application cataloge and user can install when request is approved by administrator from SCCM server.
Click on install
Conclusion
SCCM 2012 have improved lot by adding the option “Deployement Type” .There is sccm
administrators can set other application properties rather than create a package and bring
them into client machine and just execute the exe file. Using these advanced option software
distribution time will be less and issues can be reduced. There are no possibilities to deploy
application into wrong user.
