SCCM:Advertise the Package

Go Up to AppWave Infrastructure Integration

Once a software distribution package has been created, along with programs to tell client computers what to do with the package, you need to advertise the program that you want the clients to run. Advertising the program makes a program available to a specified collection of clients.

8. On the Schedule page, click the Priority list and choose High.
9. Click the Program rerun behavior and choose Rerun if failed previous attempt and then click Next.
10. On the Distribution Points page, set Advertisement behavior on a fast or slow LAN. The following are the usual settings.
    1. Download content from distribution point and run locally.
    2. Allow clients to fall back to unprotected distribution points.
