Deploy 3rd Party app with SCCM
I am fairly new to SCCM so bare with me. WE have had it setup for many years by a predecessor who has since retired. We mainly used it for pushing the client and setting bitlocker stuff. Now I want t...
- Jul 26, 2023so it looks like you are trying to deploy an app and run it from a netowrk share instead of using the built in CM deployment methods. This can work, but not ideal if you are a large site unless you have that share distributed/replicated. And the computer system account would have to have access to the share since most things in CM run as the local system.
I would set the content path of the CM app to "\\JCS1\Apps\DualShield" and set the install program to just the exe and switches for the install. Update content on the deployment type tab (may not be needed if you change the content path) and distribute it to your DPs.
when you assign it to your machines/users, when it runs, it will download that content to the cache locally and run your exe from that cache folder as the working directory.
hope this helps.

- FraggleRockJul 27, 2023Copper ContributorThanks Clyde,
I was actually able to get it to work. There were a couple problems with my setup. Frist, the path of "\\JCS1\Apps\DualShield" didn't work as it needed to be "\\JCS1.domain.com\Apps\DualShield" Then just the setup.exe file under install program like you mentioned. Then for some reason not all of the rule was getting pushed to the client. Once it was all pushed it was able to install.
