You are the systems administrator for your company. Your network runs Windows Essential Business Server 2008. You install System Center Essentials (SCE) 2007 on a computer named SCE1 and use it to manage all client computers on the network.
You deploy an application on all managed computers by using SCE 2007. After a few months, a new version of the application is released. You want to install the new version of the application on the managed computers. Before creating a new package for the application, you need to remove the old application package from SCE1.
What should you do?
A.
Open the Add or Remove Programs snap-in on SCE1, and remove the application.
B.
Right-click the application in the All Software Packages pane in the Essentials 2007 console, and select the Approve for Uninstall option.
C.
Right-click the application in the All Software Packages pane in the Essentials 2007 console, and select the Delete option.
D.
Delete the folder that contains the installation files for the application from SCE1.
Explanation:
You should right-click the application in the All Software Packages pane in the Essentials 2007 console and select the Delete option. You can use SCE 2007 to remove software that is obsolete or does not need to be deployed on managed computers in your organization. After you delete a software package, you will no longer be able to deploy that software. However, the software remains installed on any computers on which it is already deployed. To be able to uninstall the software from managed computers, you must specifically approve it for uninstall before deleting the package. After it is approved to uninstall, you should perform the following steps to delete a software package:1. In the System Center Essentials 2007 console, click the Software option.
2. In the Software pane, expand the Software Packages node, and then click the All Software Packages option.
3. In the Results pane, right-click the software package that you want to delete, and then click the Delete option.You should not open the Add or Remove Programs snap-in on SCE1 and remove the application. The Add or Remove Programs snap-in installs and uninstalls software that is installed locally on the computer. The Add or Remove Programs snap-in cannot be used to delete a software package from the SCE Management Server.
You should not right-click the application in the All Software Packages pane in the Essentials 2007 console and select the Approve for Uninstall option. The Approve for Uninstall option is used to approve a software package for uninstall from managed computers. Selecting the Approve for Uninstall option will not delete the software package from the SCE Management Server.
You should not delete the folder from SCE1 that contains the installation files for the application because this will only delete the physical installation files for the application from the SCE Management Server. This will not delete the software package from the SCE server.
