Default and recommended Configuration Manager legacy package settings

The following applies to legacy packages in Configuration Manager.

For Shopping applications based on legacy packages, deployments are controlled by the Shopping receiver on the CAS (or standalone Primary) is responsible for creating the collections and deployments, which are replicated throughout the hierarchy. The CAS Receiver uses Configuration Manager's own default settings. If the defaults are not suitable then an administrator can change the deployment settings before enabling the Shopping Application.

This is done using the RemoteClientFlags (Shopping MSI Property DPFLAG) and AdvertFlags (Shopping MSI property ADVERTFLAGS) configuration properties.

The default settings for these properties are designed to avoid impact on the WAN but do not necessarily meet users’ high expectations for quick delivery, as software distributions will be prevented in specific scenarios where package content is not available on the LAN. If your Shopping users' experience is more important, there are alternate settings that allow Shopping user preferences to take precedence, and assume occasional deployments are permitted over the WAN where necessary and that maintenance windows can be ignored.

The following section describes the default and alternate settings for legacy package adverts, but you should refer to Microsoft SMS_Advertisement Server WMI Class documentation to decide the most suitable settings for your environment.

RemoteClientFlags

If anything other than one of the the installer GUI options is required then use the DPFLAGinstaller property.

Bit	Description	GUI option: Default	GUI option: Always Download	GUI option: Always run from DP	Task Sequences	Task Sequences and Packages
	DPFLAG value:	2096	2128 (use this for Nomad)	2184	2816	2896 (use this for Nomad)
3	RUN_FROM_LOCAL_DISPPOINT. Run the program from the local distribution point.
4	DOWNLOAD_FROM_LOCAL_DISPPOINT. Download the program from the local distribution point.
5	DONT_RUN_NO_LOCAL_DISPPOINT. Do not run the program if there is no local distribution point.
6	DOWNLOAD_FROM_REMOTE_DISPPOINT. Download the program from the remote distribution point.
7	RUN_FROM_REMOTE_DISPPOINT. Run the program from the remote distribution point.
8	DOWNLOAD_ON_DEMAND_FROM_LOCAL_DP. Download the program on demand from the local distribution point. This is only applicable for task sequences.
9	DOWNLOAD_ON_DEMAND_FROM_REMOTE_DP. Download the program on demand from the remote distribution point. This is only applicable for task sequences.
11	RERUN_ALWAYS. Always rerun the program. Note This is required for the 1E Shopping reshopping feature.

AdvertFlags

If anything other than the default option is required, you must use the ADVERTFLAGSinstaller property.

Bit	Description	Default	An alternative
	ADVERTFLAGS value:	4325408	15728672
5	IMMEDIATE. Announce the advertisement to the user immediately. Note This setting is not critical because Shopping overrides this setting on a per-app basis using the application’s mandatory property.
17	DONOT_FALLBACK. Do not fall back to unprotected distribution points. This bit setting ON causes the tickbox on the adverts ‘distribution points’ tab to be disabled and fallback does not occur. Fallback to unprotected distribution points is described inhttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb892788.aspx. The end result is also affected by RemoteClientFlags.
20	OVERRIDE_SERVICE_WINDOWS. Override maintenance windows in announcing the advertisement to the user.
21	REBOOT_OUTSIDE_OF_SERVICE_WINDOWS. Reboot outside of maintenance windows.
22	WAKE_ON_LAN_ENABLED. There are several alternatives for whether or not to use the AdvertFlags Wake-on-LAN setting: Enable this setting if WOL is provided by 1E WakeUp. If using 1E Shopping, then you do not require Shopping's native policy refresh feature because policy refresh is also provided by 1E WakeUp. Enable this setting if WOL is provided by Configuration Manager Wake-on-LAN feature. If using 1E Shopping then use its policy refresh feature to speed up deployment to machines that are already powered on. Enable this setting even if not using 1E WakeUp or Configuration Manager Wake-on-LAN feature, because it does no harm, and will come into effect if thes WOL solutions are enabled later . Disable this setting if you do not want WOL for Shopping adverts and you are using Configuration Manager Wake-on-LAN or 1E WakeUp for other adverts. Otherwise ignore this setting and consider using Shopping's native policy refresh feature.
23	SHOW_PROGRESS. Announce the advertisement to the user showing task sequence progress.
