On the Remote installation task settings page, specify the settings for remote installation of the application.

In the Force installation package download settings group, specify how files that are required for the application installation are distributed to client devices:

• Using Network Agent

  If this option is enabled, installation packages are delivered to client devices by Network Agent installed on those client devices.

  If this option is disabled, installation packages are delivered using the operating system tools of client devices.

  We recommend that you enable this option if the task has been assigned to devices with Network Agents installed.

  By default, this option is enabled.

• Using operating system resources through distribution points

  If this option is enabled, installation packages are transmitted to client devices using operating system tools through distribution points. You can select this option if there is at least one distribution point on the network.

  If the Using Network Agent option is enabled, the files are delivered using operating system tools only if Network Agent tools are unavailable.

  By default, this option is enabled for remote installation tasks that have been created on a virtual Administration Server.

• Using operating system resources through Administration Server

  If this option is enabled, files are transmitted to client devices by using operating system tools of client devices through the Administration Server. You can enable this option if no Network Agent is installed on the client device, but the client device is in the same network as the Administration Server.

  By default, this option is enabled.

Define the additional settings:

• Do not re-install application if it is already installed

  If this option is enabled, the selected application will not be re-installed if it has already been installed on this client device.

  If this option is disabled, the application will be installed anyway.

  By default, this option is enabled.

• Assign package installation in Active Directory group policies

  If this option is enabled, an installation package is installed by using the Active Directory group policies.

  This option is available if the Network Agent installation package is selected.

  By default, this option is disabled.
