Hello Justin, This is perfect! Thanks, I will go through all my applications and change the detection method as you have advised.

We find the most customer generally will include applications into their base image or install them during their deployment task sequence. Of-course some apps you may target after the OS deployment via device/users collections. This would be the base/initial installation of that application. The application model is the best method to use when doing the initial deployment of any particular application. For the application rules, you would want to simply set the installed rule to >= the version being deployed in that application. That would ensure once an update for that application is installed via SCUP/Software Updates it will still be detected as installed for that application and wouldn't re-run. Let us know if you have any other questions! Thanks, Justin Chalfant - Software Engineer Patch My PC Support Patch Management Made Easy!

We recently purchased PatchMyPC licenses to leverage patching 3rd party applications. I was not aware that this will only update existing installed applications and you cannot use it for pushing software to machines that never had the software installed. How is everyone handling I guess the, "base" version of your applications in SCCM? Do you just update the detection method to include the newest build from SCUP so it will always show as compliant in software center? Or do you update the base version every so often? I guess if you are not careful and push out the base application and leave it out there, then down the road also push out a newer update with the SCUP version, the machine will go back and forth installing the old one and newer one. I also have a couple steps in my TS to install applications during OSD and I guess with SCUP when it imports into SCCM, shows up as a software update. I know how software updates and task sequences do not work all that great. Are you also not using SCUP/PatchMyPC for OSD applications? Or found a dependable way to do this? Thanks in advance!
