Deploy System Center Orchestrator Integration Packs
Applies To: Orchestrator 2012 Beta
System Center 2012 - Orchestrator includes over 73 built-in workflow actions, called “standard activities,” that perform a wide variety of functions. You can expand Orchestrator’s functionality and ability to integrate with other Microsoft and third-party platforms and products by installing integration packs. Integration packs contain additional activities that provide their own unique functions. Microsoft provides integration packs for all of the System Center products, as well as a number of other Microsoft products and technologies and other third party products.
You can download integration packs during the Beta release from https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=221096. Each integration pack also has a guide that details installation information and known issues (if any) and provides reference information for the activities in that integration pack. You can review the integration pack guides in the System Center Orchestrator 2012 Integration Pack library (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=220929).
The following procedure contains general instructions that apply to most integration packs. See the integration pack guide for system requirements and any special installation instructions for that integration pack.
