Application Management
Application management in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager provides the tools to
manage applications in the enterprise. Applications are similar to distribution packages, but contain
more information to support smart deployment. Parallels Mac Management natively supports the
application management feature of System Center 2012 Configuration Manager and allows to use
it to deploy applications on Mac computers.
The steps to create and deploy a Mac application are:
1 Decide whether you want the application to be installed on a Mac silently or interactively (p. 88)
2 Prepare a Mac applicatio
n for Configuration Manager (p. 89)
3 Create a Co
nfiguration Manager application for the Mac software (p. 89)
4 Configure t
he Deployment Type (p. 91)
5 Deploy the
Mac application (p. 93)
The remai
ning topics in this section describe how the application is installed on a Mac and how to
use Application Portal:
• Installing Application on a Mac (p. 95)
• Using Application Portal (p. 96)
