Hello All, This is probably a goofy question but wanted to see how others are handling this. We recently purchased PatchMyPC licenses to leverage patching 3rd party applications. I was not aware that this will only update existing installed applications and you cannot use it for pushing software to machines that never had the software installed.
How is everyone handling I guess the, "base" version of your applications in SCCM? Do you just update the detection method to include the newest build from SCUP so it will always show as compliant in software center? Or do you update the base version every so often? I guess if you are not careful and push out the base application and leave it out there, then down the road also push out a newer update with the SCUP version, the machine will go back and forth installing the old one and newer one. I also have a couple steps in my TS to install applications during OSD and I guess with SCUP when it imports into SCCM, shows up as a software update. I know how software updates and task sequences do not work all that great. Are you also not using SCUP/PatchMyPC for OSD applications? Or found a dependable way to do this? Thanks in advance!
