Export and Import Global Conditions
Please allow us to export and import global conditions. The code exists somewhere since this can be done when exporting and importing applications. Bonus points for Powershell cmdlets.

Application/Package install at shutdown or startup
We can now update at shutdown/startup but we need to be able to do the same for Application/Package Deployment.
Some of our deployments require browsers or mail clients to be closed and getting the users to do this voluntarily is almost impossible.

Auto uninstall application based on Software Metering useage
Please add an option in the Application Model to auto uninstall the application after xx number of days. This could be linked to Software Metering. This would be extremely beneficial to manage applications for license reclamation as well as removing vulnerable applications from the environment.

Allow for more granular OS selection in Application Requirements
Right now there is no way to distinguish between flavors of Windows 10 when configuring OS-based Application requirements. Please split it up into different OS flavors such as 1507, 1511, 1607, 1703...etc.

Have deployment types linked to deployments
I would like to see the ability to easily link a deployment type to a deployment. here is why with the deployments you can point them to a collection. it would be nice to be able to say, "hey i want this deployment type to go to this production collection. However, i want to test this update for this application and have the target collection be the pilot group." i know there are probably global conditions you can make to query collection membership but it seems like it would be a small task to have that simple feature to have…

Office Click-to-run should be able to stream installation from Distribution Point
When deploying Office 365 via SCCM, the client downloads the entire package to its local drive, then streams the installation from the downloaded source. In our organisation we have one master source including all languages (~8GB) and the client streams only the languages it requires (as specified in the configuration.xml), SCCM should allow the clients to stream the installation directly from the Distribution Points and therefore only download the languages they need, not the entire 8GB source.

Allow setting of default icons in software center

This is to allow the changing of the default icons for all task sequences, or all package / programs in software center.18 votes -

Automatically extract app icons from content (MSI etc.)
Current behavior is that application icons need to be specified in Application Properties. Wouldn't it be great to pull the app icon from the app content if it is available? This would save a lot of time for environments where application icons are a requirement.

Role Based Control : Enhance the Ability to Add SuperSedence using RBA
Currently under the Role Base Access, if you have full control to an application, and wish to add SuperSedence to an application the User only has read access to, you are unable to do that. The ability to do this is currently available when adding a dependency on an existing app the user only has read rights to.

Allow Superseding / Upgrade of app or program not installed via SCCM
It would be great if an supersedence could be created for programs not deployed via SCCM (or previously deployed via packages). I find myself creating "dummy" applications just for a detection, so that we can automatically upgrade applications that are "Available". In other words, often times we don't care that you installed a specific program, but we do care that if it is installed it's up to date. Maybe when selecting the Application and Deployment type to supersede an additional option to supersede base on a detection rule set could be added?

Mac Script Installer deployment type
Today the only deployment type for Mac is to use the ".cmmac" packages.
These packages are far from on par with what is available for Windows.
The most basic option to uninstall the app is not present.It would be very usfull to have the "Mac Script Installer" deployment type where we can simply add a .pkg file or bash script with media and execute install and uninstall with custom commands. Some of the packages require more then just the .pkg file and will therefor be incomplete.
Having a uninstall command will also allow for propper supersedence where now application…16 votes -
Further Customize Web Application Deployment Types
Web Application deployment types in their current incarnation are not very usable. The main issues with using them are that:
1. There is no control over where the shortcut to the Web App gets placed; they always go to the start menu. We would like the option to put the shortcut on the desktop or in the user's favorites menu. To do this currently we have to write a script and cannot use this deployment type.
2. The icon for the Web Application should use the icon imported into the software center. Nondescript icons make finding the application you want…

Deploy Software after initiate Shutdown
It would be nice if an Software Package is required in the Future to set a specific Time when a Software CAN be automatically installed ! E.g. : Deployment availability: NOW
Requirement Date of a Software Install: 5 Weeks
Recommended Date of a Software Install: 2 WeeksIf a Client Shutdown after the Date of Recommend Date of Software Deployment is reached SCCM have to install the Application/Update.

Use a standard file browse dialog for the file detection method
When creating a file detection type, it would be lovely if it were possible to use a standard file type dialog as opposed to the current dialog.

Add URL Markup for Localized Description Text in an Application
Please allow URL links within the text field for localized description. This way you can include a link to contact the helpdesk or a URL for internal documentation. Particularly, the "mailto" and "href" markup.

Evaluate App Requirements at App Uninstall
Consider an app with multiple deployment types using different requirement rules filtering on items such as platform (x86, x64, APP-V, etc). When the app is configured the requirement logic is evaluated and the proper deployment type executed.
Suppose that the deployment type selected was specific for x64 systems and also that the deployment type is the third deployment type in the list. Assume also that each of the three deployment types supports an uninstall command.
If the user goes into software center and manually selects to uninstall everything works as expected and the specific deployment type is removed. If, instead,…

Enable/Disable Feature for Application Deployments
Enable/Disable Feature for Application Deployments
When a Deployment is created, it is Enabled by default and there is no way to Disable it. In the current state, a Deployment could get created incorrectly, resulting in a large number of computers in the company getting rebooted, unwanted software or blue screens (if its something incompatible for that platform). In SCCM 2007 we got around this by creating a "Disabled" program for each Package, then after an Advertisement was QA'd, we would associate the "Enable" Program with the Advertisement. This option is not available in 2012. Seems like a pretty simple feature…15 votes
