[sccm 2012] Sims push

[Rozzer]

Hi All,

 

As I have not be allowed to use the new solus yet how has anyone pushed out SIMS via sccm? I could add the sims setup folder but seems like a lot of pointless files being copied. Can I Just put the sims application setup in a folder and grab the content of that and script an install?

 

Thanks

Run the exes (application, ampark, manual) via a TS.

That will do the trick for a freshly new imaged machine but its more for when an update is released.

Same for updates.

 

Sometimes the updates don't use all of the exes, but you can check by seeing the file dates in the updated folder on the SIMS server.

Worth a shot ill just have the content of the script folder and run that script.

Thanks for the advice got it working a treat now

 

Got it to check the date of pulsar.exe and if its greater than 18/March then it won't run the install. Gotta love SCCM 2012

@Rozzer

How did you get the check to work? Did you have to setup the script in an msi as i found the supersede will only work with applications and not programs

[eejit]

@Rozzer I'd also like to know how you set up this part if you have time

Thanks!

Is it not easier to allow end users to update SIMS on their own?

This is what I do via the Software Centre, which runs the installers again silently (it auto updates the package from ...\sims\setups
