Settings View / Deployment Tab / SCCM 2007 Subtab

Property

Description

Central Site Server

Enter the machine name of the SCCM 2007 Server.

Central Site Database Server

Enter the machine name where the SCCM 2007 Server database resides.

Central Site Database Name

Enter the database name of the SCCM 2007 Server database.

Central Site Code

Defines the Central Site Code (in SITE_XXX format).

Test

Click to test the connection settings that are entered. If the test is successful, the message [SERVER_NAME] settings are valid appears.

Enable workstation verification?

Enables/disables the actions in the Select verification level list. Users matching one of the specified attributes will not be required to accept the EULA.

Depending on the User / Computer relationship, this will be the last user inventoried or the most logged on user.

•

Select verification level—Tells App Portal how to handle users who visit from machines that were not originally registered with App Portal.

•

Warning—Users will be prompted with a notification that they are not using the discovered machine.

•

Disallowed—Users will not be able to visit the App Portal Storefront from other machines.

Important: This field is disabled when the User / Computer relationship field is set to Use SCCM last logon user.

User / Computer relationship

Specify the user/computer relationship that App Portal needs to use by selecting one of the following options:

•

Use SCCM last logon user—The user to computer relationship will use SMS last logon user.

•

Use SCCM Primary Console Usage—Makes use of the SCCM / SMS SP3 feature of tracking login duration to determine primary machine usage

•

Use AD Computer Managed By—Uses the AD Computer object "Managed By" attribute to determine the primary user of the computer. This setting requires inventory of the "ManagedBy" AD attribute in SCCM System Discovery.

Note: When workstation verification is enabled, the user’s current computer is checked against SCCM to determine if this device is their primary device. Therefore, the Use SCCM last logon user is not available for workstation verification because it is not as accurate as the other methods.

Reporting Path

The full HTTP path to the SCCM reporting URL, including the trailing backslash. When not specified, the standard format will be used:

http://<server>/smsreporting_<site _code>/

Maximum levels for Sub Collection Evaluation

When using SCCM collections for conditions within App Portal, sub-collection membership can be evaluated up to the level you specify in this field. This allows you to apply an empty collection as a condition if the collection has sub-collections with the target members in those sub-collections.

Create DDRs when On Demand

Important: No longer supported.

Validate available DP for software requests

App Portal can impersonate a client location request for content to ensure that the computer will have access to the SCCM content when a request is submitted. Disabling this option may cause a request to stall in “Waiting for Content” state if the content is not available for the computer. May require the registration (Regsvr32) of the smsmsgapi.dll in Web\Bin.

Use Central Site for All Deployments

All deployments will be generated from the central site as opposed to using each primary site.

In some cases you may elect to do all your deployments from the Central Site instead of using each primary site. App Portal manages all the collections at each primary site, however if you still wish to use the Central site for all deployments select this option. Your deployment times will be subject to intra-site replication delays.

Hide sites from software publication

To hide a specific site from software publication, select the site.

Allow publication to all sites

Select this option to allow publication to all sites.

Path to Inboxes

Specify the path to the SCCM in boxes. This path is used to transfer the DDR for user discovery when Create user DDR as necessary is selected.

Client polling interval

Enter the client polling interval of the SCCM client. This value is used to calculate date and time data for email messages when explaining when a request should begin no later than.

Default OSD Site Server

Choose the SCCM site where new computer objects will be imported to when using bare metal OS deployment.

Default OSD Time Zone

Choose the default time zone for new computers imported into SCCM as a part of an OS deployment.

MDT Database Name

If MDT is installed on the Central Site server, enter the database name here to obtain the list of supported MDT variables for OSD.

Store OSD Packages as Computer Variables

When applications are targeted to an OS Deployment the applications can be stored on the computer object as variables. This allows for the MDT process to automatically install the applications without any further customizations. If you do not use this option you will need to obtain the applications using SQL or web service calls.

Base Package Variable Name

Determines the base variable name for the packages, such as AppPortalPackage001, AppPortalPackage002. This base variable name should match the base variable for software installation in your Install Software Task Sequence step.

Use single Task Sequence for Capture and Deployment

Determines whether both the source and target computers are inserted into the same collection for side-by-side migrations.

Important: If this option is used you must properly configure your Task Sequence to perform only specific steps based on computer variable values. Failure to do so can result in the source computer being reimaged!

Overwrite existing resources for computer import

This base variable will be used to deploy packages as part of the Install Software step in a SCCM OSD Task Sequence. It should match the value specified in the Install Software Task Sequence step exactly. The variable name and value will be appended to the variables list of the SCCM Computer object. The default value is PACKAGES.

Success Status IDs

Identifies the status IDs from SCCM that constitute a successful installation.

Failure Status IDs

Identifies the status IDs from SCCM that constitute a failed installation.

Program Collection Cleanup Status IDs

Identifies the status IDs from SCCM where App Portal should remove the machine from the collection for requests that have Enable Collection Clean-up enabled.

Task Sequence Collection Cleanup Status IDs

Identifies the status IDs that would cause the removal of a computer from the task sequence collections. The use case is that the computer is not removed from the collection at an early enough stage to prevent the task sequence from rerunning after the computer is rebooted.

Note: You also need to select the Remove from collection when complete? option on the Deployment > Global tab of the Catalog Properties dialog box.

Enable Rerun Advertisement for Status IDs

Identifies the status IDs from SCCM where App Portal should allow an advertisement to be rerun for requests that Enable Rerun is enabled.
