Configuring the Deploy Software Update Activity
To configure the Deploy Software Update activity
From the Activities pane, drag a Deploy Software Update activity to the active runbook.
Double-click the Deploy Software Update activity icon. The Properties dialog box opens.
Configuring the Details tab:
In the Connection section, click the ellipsis button (...), and then select the Configuration Manager server connection that you want to use for this activity. Click OK.
In the Fields section, enter a value for each of the required properties. If the property is Lookup-enabled, you can click the ellipsis (…) button next to the text box to browse for a value.
You can also use published data to automatically populate the value of the property from the data output by a previous activity in the runbook.
Configuring the Schedule tab:
The Schedule tab allows you to define when the deployment becomes available or when it expires, as well as mandatory assignment schedules. Mandatory assignment schedules cause Configuration Manager to automatically run the program at a specific time or according to a specific event, such as user Logon/Logoff. The settings on this tab are optional.
For more information about mandatory assignments, see Mandatory Assignment Schedules.
注意
When a deployment is set to Required, then a mandatory schedule must be defined for the deployment or the activity will fail.
Configuring the Alerts tab:
The Alerts tab allows you to define compliance and installation alert features for a deployment. The settings on this tab are optional. To configure the settings on this tab, enter the appropriate values as described in the properties list above.
For information about the settings on the General and Run Behavior tabs, see Common Configuration Instructions for all Activities.
