I attempted to use Configuration Manager's ability to detect running apps but of course Microsoft hasn't implemented a way for users to acknowledge a running app, shut it down and try to continue the install. Since the latest version of the ADA is part of the deployment, the install has trouble if a previous version is already installed and running. I have experienced success however I have run into a few small snags and one is specifically with the Autodesk Desktop App. It takes a fair time commitment to build and test the deployment prior to roll-out. I am in the midst of working through an AutoCAD 2019 deployment.
Unfortunately it hasn't been implemented as an agent yet and I don't expect it any time real soon however Autodesk does publish a really great SCCM Administrators Guide that steps you through the process of using either the standard package or application package process to deploy. All this without being local administrator. The client keeps itself updated, it gives users the possibility to install the Adobe apps needed (and have license for), and it keeps the apps always updated. We install a small Adobe client using SCCM. The Desktop app controls everything and have the access rights needed on computer, not the end user.Īdobe has this function with their Creative Cloud.
(Possibe today, but only for administrators - my users are not administrators)ĭesktop app install updates automatically (or notify users about updates) Users install the apps they need from the Desktop app. Users log in the Desktop app and have access to their apps Users install "Autodesk Desktop App" (or something similar). Time-consuming, costly and a pita for updating our Autodesk software packages on a whole bunch of computers. No software update possibilities for users (non-administrators), must wait for next years packages that are costly to produce for my IT sourcing partner. Licenses comes from a local FlexLM server. They are normal users, not adminitrators. All my users install Autodesk software using custom packages from SCCM.
