Choosing Existing Applications to Migrate During an OS Deployment
App Portal 2021 R1
You can choose to display the Choose Existing Applications to Migrate panel during the checkout of OSD task sequence catalog items. This panel lists the applications that are deployed on the source machine’s current operating system, as determined by either the FlexNet Manager Suite or App Portal inventory function.
The Choose Existing Applications to Migrate panel only appears if the Enable application migration and installation of additional applications option is selected on the Site Management > Settings > Deployment > OS Deployment tab.
OS Deployment Settings Related to Application Migration
If the Enable requester to specify which existing applications to migrate option is also selected here, then the requester has the option of selecting or deselecting applications. If this option is not selected, all existing applications are automatically selected and cannot be unselected.
Note:To prevent a catalog item from being listed on the Choose Existing Applications to Migrate panel (because, for example, it is a core application that is automatically included with your corporate OS image), select the Core application option on the General > Global tab of that catalog item’s Catalog Item Properties dialog box.
To choose individual applications to migrate during an OS deployment:
| 1. | Perform the steps in Checking Out to check out an OSD task sequence catalog item. The Choose Existing Applications to Migrate panel of the Checkout Wizard opens. |
| 2. | Select the applications that you want to have installed on the target operating system and then click Next. |
Note:If the Enable requester to specify which existing applications to migrate option is not selected on the Site Management > Settings > Deployment > OS Deployment tab, all existing applications are automatically selected and cannot be unselected.
Note:Because these applications are selected during checkout, they are written to the computer object within System Center Configuration Manager as variables so that they can be used by the Task Sequence process.
