Process Map of Software Distribution
Hi All, We deploy software by AD group. Can anyone let me know the process which happens from putting a machine into an AD group to the software appearing on the desktops... we need to do some troubleshooting and would be nice to know the process of discovery etc. Peter

Just see the "Software Distribution Troubleshooting Flowcharts": http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb932214.aspx and "Insider's Guide to Troubleshooting Client Content Download in Configuration Manager 2007 ": http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrteam/archive/2010/01/14/troubleshooting-client-content-download-in-configuration-manager-2007.aspxTorsten Meringer | http://www.mssccmfaq.de

That is helpful, but I'm looking for something along the lines of what discovery method runs to populate the collection after running the query, what method pushes the advert out etc... Basically I need to tweak the timings to increase speed of deployment. I've put R3 on, and am about to enable Delta Discovery and I'd like to make the full discovery run more often but need to be fully aware of what Im doing.

Discovery adds information to the database. AD system group discovery adds OU/group information to existing client records (R3: it's only valid for new or updated client records NOT for existing ones). Collections have to be updated afterwards in order to reflect the changes/updates. The policy provider then creates/updates policies. Clients then have to retrieve machine policies.Torsten Meringer | http://www.mssccmfaq.de
