Summary


This chapter covered most important topics related to deploying an application by the ConfigMgr client. If possible, it is always recommended that you use .msi files for application deployment for the Windows operating system or the installation of binaries in the case of other platforms.

A new way of working with applications has many advantages compared to what has been available before ConfigMgr 2012. Options available for application deployment can significantly speed up and enhance the application deployment cycle.

The next chapter covers topics related to patching deployments, such as configuring server roles responsible for update deployment, ConfigMgr and WSUS synchronization, the process of scanning for missing patches, and the updates installation process. There will also be a section on configuring features such as updates deployment, automatic patch deployment, and Windows 10 servicing.
