We have some software that requires a config file to be installed first, so publishing the software to the portal via the catalog doesn't make sense. I'd also like to have another task that runs after the software install to gather new inventory.
I was thinking I'd set up a managed software policy installing the config file, the software, and running software update. I only want the software to be installed via the portal on demand and not via a managed policy schedule.
I know this was discussed before on Connect but I can't find the discussion. I thought the suggestion was to schedule it for some time in the far future, but I'm missing probably the (probably) obvious way to do that.
What's the best way to do what I want to do - have users install software on demand that is more involved than just running an exe/msi?
Thanks, as always!
Note: I'm testing iwth 8.5 RU1
