Microsoft System Center 2012 Configuration Manager allows you to distribute software across one or more sites in your Configuration Manager hierarchy. The following list shows some of the items you can distribute:

  • A single command to be run on workstations

  • A complete software application to be installed on individual workstations

  • A shortcut to a software package installed on and run from a network share

Configuration Manager uses packages, programs, and advertisements to denote certain relationships in the distribution of software. These terms correspond directly with the classes SMS_Package, SMS_Program, and SMS_Advertisement.
