Updating files on user system
Hi All,I have deployed a application through SCCM.Problem is that some of files related to that application need to be updated on a regular basis(.pdf,templates etc) on the user system.Is there is a any way i can automate this using SCCM?Previously this was done through content distribution using logon scripts.Thanks in advance

Sure, you can! You can set both package source updates/DP updates and advertisements to rerun on a given schedule, and of course you can adjust the collection update cycle too if needed.

Hi Eirik,,Thats correct.But i was looking for something like this,if the file is changed on the server/DP copy only then copy it to the user system otherwise do not copy.Is it possible to make a dynamic advertisement,means whenver files on the server changed the advertisement runs on the user system,basically Iam trying to eliminate the scheduling.It has to work when the files are changed

I have made jobs like that where I use robocopy. In other words, I set up the jub to run on a schedule, but let robocopy decide if the file has changed or not. If changed, the new version is copied.

If you mean "the instant the server file has changed, then client needs to copy the file", there isn't (to my knowledge) any way that a ConfigMgr Client agent can reach across the network to test that scenario.I can envision (in my head) a DCM baseline that could monitor for "file different", and return a non-compliant, and then on *that* data, you could have the computer drop into a collection, and that collection is the target of the advertisement. But there are several schedules there, which mean that there simply couldn't be instant gratification (client polling interval, DCM baseline re-eval interval, Collection update interval, and Advertisement re-run interval). All that together = long time.So if that's what you need: instant check and remediation, no, can't see it. But if you are under the "eventually, that would be fine" kind of schedule, sure, you could design something.Standardize. Simplify. Automate.
