What's going on, guys?
It is Bernardo and today is all about creating
and deploying application groups within your SCCM or configuration manager.
So let's get right into it. All right.
So once you have your Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager
console up and running, we need to go into administration.
Within administration, we're going to go to overview.
We're going to expand updates and servicing and then click on features.
Now within features, locate application groups.
For me, it was turned off, so I'm going to right click on it and turn it on.
You're going to get this nice little warning, so just click.
Yes, I kind of recommend rebooting your console once you reboot your console.
We need to do the following.
So let's go inside the software.
Within software, we're going to go to overview, expand application
management, and then you're going to see your app groups.
We're going to select it, right click on it and let's create
our application group.
This is our first one.
So let's give it a name
and there's more stuff that you're able to enter within this section right here.
But the core requirement is entering a name.
So I'm a leave everything as is and then click on next.
Now you are able to change the icon and get all fancy.
But for here I'm a leave it as a default and then click next.
And this is where the magic happens.
Now I'm going to click on Add and within Add I'm going to pick PC and laptops
and I'm going to choose the applications that I want to add within this group.
So I selected my creative cloud
client, Chrome and Paint Dot Net.
Once you select your applications, click on okay.
And then from here you can continue.
But it allows you to select something and you're able to move it up
and down to a specific order on how you want these apps to be installed.
So I kind of made the arrangements.
I want it chrome to be installed first, paint dot
net to install second and then last, creative cloud.
Once you're done with the order, click on next.
You get a nice little summary. Click next here.
It's going to start doing its magic
and once it's done you get a green check mark of completed it successfully.
Awesome.
Let's click close now we need to deploy it.
So we're going to right click on new application group
and click on deploy and we need to select a collection.
So click on Browse.
Now from here it's only showing me user collections.
I want to push it out to a device collection,
so I'm going to click on the dropdown menu and then pick on device collections.
And now I'm going to pick on Windows 11 and then click, okay,
I'm going to click next here.
I don't need to pick a DP because it's automatically
has my distribution point already assigned to this section here.
If you don't see anything here, just click on Add, pick DP and select
your distribution point and then click next for the deployment setting.
I'm going to leave it as a default.
You are able to change the purpose to required, but
I left it as install and available click next for scheduling.
I left it as the default click next for the user experience.
I definitely want my users to see that there's something new
but you are able to change it.
All depends on how you have it set up within your environment.
So click next for alerts. I left it as is.
You get a nice little summary of what's going to happen. Click next.
It's going to start doing its magic and once it's done
you get a green checkmark stating completed successfully.
Awesome. So let's close it.
Now, If you go inside the monitor tab, click on deployments
and look for that particular application group,
which is this one, and you double click on it.
This should give you a nice little deployment
status of what's happening right now. I don't have anything.
It just takes some time for it to propagate
between your distribution point and to push it out to your clients.
And I was lucky enough that one of my Windows 11 machines
it received this notification that a new software is available, which is awesome.
If you click on the start button and type in software center, open up your software
center go to applications and you're going to see your new applications group.
If you click on it, click on install, and it's going to do this thing
in which order you did within the group for me was chrome,
paint dot net and creative cloud, which is going to get installed
within this Windows 11 machine.
And that's it guys
hopefully you guys enjoy this video and I catch you guys on the next one peace up.
