Client - Download & Execute

The Executer plugin allows you to integrate the launch of third-party applications. These applications do not necessarily have to be located on the client that is launching them. The respective third-party application can be made available in such a way that it is downloaded to the client and executed when launched.

To illustrate this, the integration of SCCM Remote Control is explained below.

  1. First, the entire directory structure of the application must be copied to the RequiredFiles directory of the SCCM Manager installation. There should be a main directory that contains all files. Example: {Installation path}\Resources\RequiredFiles\CCMRemoteControl}

  2. Now the “Update Version” Start menu shortcut must be executed. This creates a new file (__RequiredFiles.obj) that SCCM Manager uses to identify the required files.

  3. To make this program available, a new action must be created in the Control Panel. This is done in SCCM Manager’s administration mode.
  4. After the new action has been created, the ExecuterPlugin assembly must be assigned to it.
  5. If necessary, an argument and a startup parameter can now be defined.
  6. Once the new action has been activated, every client can immediately invoke the Remote Control action.
  7. The following image shows the configuration of the third-party application Remote Control in SCCM Manager.

The following parameters are mandatory:

-RequiredDirectory = Directory on the server (required only for downloads)

-Target = File to be executed and any parameters
