Software distribution to mobile devices
Integrate Configuration Manager with Microsoft Intune to deploy and manage devices that
are running Windows Phone 8, Windows RT, Apple iOS, and Android operating systems. You
integrate Configuration Manager with Intune by using the Intune connector, which acts as a
gateway between Configuration Manager and Intune. In this method, the mobile devices con-
nect to the cloud to receive configuration information and software. Only System Center 2012
R2 Configuration Manager and System Center 2012 Configuration Manager Service
Pack 1 (SP1) support this method.
Users can perform self-enrollment by using Company Portal, which is an app Microsoft
publishes and is available in the following locations:
The Apple App Store for iOS devices
The Google Play store for Android devices
The Windows Store for Windows devices
Thought experiment
Configuration Manager at Wingtip Toys
You are planning the use of Configuration Manager for software deployment at
Tailspin Toys. You want to run a command from the C:\Windows\System32 folder
on all of the 15,000 Configuration Manager clients in your organization but to do
so only once. You also want to ensure that the App-V version of an application is
deployed only on computers that are not a user's primary device. With this informa-
tion in mind, answer the following questions:
1. What's the best way to get Configuration Manager to run the command?
2. What's the best way to ensure that the App-V version of the application is
deployed correctly?
Objective summary
In System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager, you can choose to deploy software
by configuring what are termed applications, or you can use the traditional method of
configuring what are termed packages and programs.
Applications contain built-in intelligence, such as the ability to deploy different types
of software based on the properties of the client device.
