network diagram

For Better View > Open Image in different TAB

please have a look to network diagram above 

we have domain controller and  SCCM server on servers fram 

and we have client computers on LAN zone 

SCCM141.pioneers.lab will be used to deploy application (WinRAR ) to client computers in LAN 

deploy software tasks

  deploying software include the following tasks : 

  • add distribution point DP to SCCM server 
  • create package that include software 
  • distribute package DP server [ which is same SCCM MP server 
  • deploy distributed package from DP server to client computers [ALL desktop computers ] 
  • sync policy on client computer
  • install package on client computer 

add Distribution Point DP role

we have to install DP to SCCM server unless we already install it during SCCM installation 

 

open : administration > server and site system role > DP is NOT installed : so we will install it
right click on server and add role
NO proxy required > next
select DP role
next
next
this page belong to deploy OS > next
next
no need for validation > next
select boundary group
review and confirm
DP role installed successfully
DP role installed

create package

the second step is create package that will contain software 

we can add many software to same package [which is NOT recommended ] 

we will create package to install software WinRAR 

please note this steps applied to any software 

no package is created , ONLY default two packages during SCCM installation
create package
sert package name and path of EXE file
standard for winfoed operating system software
set software name (any name ), and EXE file from path above
we can make software exclusive to specific OS > just keep it available to any OS
review and confirm
package is created , But NOT distributed YET

Distribute content from site server to DP

after we create package we need to distribute it to DP server [ which is same SCCM MP server ] 

right click package and distribute
select DP server
review and confirm
package is distributed successfully tp DP server
package is distributed successfully tp DP server

deploy package to client computers

NOW we will deploy package from DP to client computer 

select package and deploy
select which computer to be deployed > we will select ALL desktop server and client OS
select available DP server

this is crossroad : 

purpose could be : 

  • Required will be install on computer without user action
  • Available will be listed on [software center] à then user can install it any time later
select purpose available
since we select available > no need for schedule
review and confirm
package deployed successfully
package deployed successfully

sync policy on client computer

on client computer : 

we can wait until computer to sync within scheduled time > or DO synch manually 

to save time : we will make sync manually 

open control panel on client computer > configuration manager
from action TAB > select application deployment cycle > run NOW
policy will sync after minutes

install application on client computer

after sync policy on client computer > package will downloaded to C:\windows\CCMcache 

it’s  time  install package on client computer 

package downloaded to path
open software center form windows menu>software is available for installation
clieck install
software installed successfully
on control panel > programs > software installed successfully
