Microsoft SCCM deployment

NCapture for Chrome

This topic explains how to use Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 (SCCM) to install NCapture for Chrome to Windows client machines without requiring user interaction. Microsoft SCCM uses packages to distribute software to client machines. A package represents a software application to be installed on a client computer.

This document guides you through the process of deploying NCapture using SCCM—downloading the source file, creating the package, creating the program and advertising the package.

Chrome automatically disables extensions that have not been installed through the Chrome Web Store. You may need to assist your users with enabling NCapture.

• Step 1 - Check system requirements

• Step 2 - Download the source file

• Step 3 - Create the package

• Step 4 - Create a program for the package

• Step 5 - Advertise the package

Step 1 - Check system requirements

Make sure the client machines that you are distributing the software to meet NCapture's system requirements:

• Google Chrome 44 or later.

Step 2 - Download the source file

Before you can create the package, the NCapture source file must be available in a source directory on a file share (e.g. \\FileServer\SourceDirectory) that is accessible by the Configuration Manager and the client machines.

You can download the latest version of NCapture for Chrome from the QSR website

Step 3 - Create the package

Now that you have downloaded the source file, you are ready to create the package.

To create a new SCCM package:

1. To launch the Configuration Manager Console, click Start, point to All Programs, click Microsoft System Center, click Configuration Manager 2007, and then click ConfigMgr Console.

2. In the Configuration Manager console, navigate to System Center Configuration Manager / Site Database / Computer Management / Software Distribution.

3. Right-click Packages, click New, and then click Package.

The New Package Wizard opens.

4. On the General page, enter the name of the software, its version, manufacturer, language and a descriptive comment, and then click Next.

5. On the Data Source page, select This package contains source files.

6. Click the Set button to display the Set Source Directory dialog box.

7. Enter the UNC path of the source directory that contains the source file that you downloaded in Step 2 - Download the source file.

8. Click OK to return to the Data Source page, and then click Next.

9. Continue through the wizard, selecting your preferred options, and then click Finish to create the package.

Step 4 - Create a program for the package

Now that you have downloaded the source file, you are ready to create the package.

The package needs a program that defines the command line parameters to use when installing the software and specifies system requirements and other run options.

To create a new SCCM program:

1. To launch the Configuration Manager Console, click Start, point to All Programs, click Microsoft System Center, click Configuration Manager 2007, and then click ConfigMgr Console.

2. In the Configuration Manager console, navigate to System Center Configuration Manager / Site Database / Computer Management / Software Distribution / Packages.

3. Expand the package that you want to create a program for.

4. Right-click the Programs folder, click New, and then click Program.

The New Program Wizard opens.

5. On the General page, enter a descriptive name for the program.

6. In the Command line, type the command line that will be used to execute the program (or click Browse to select a batch file).

NCapture.Chrome.exe /v"/qn

Step 5 - Advertise the package

Now everything is set up, you need to create an advertisement for the package that will be sent to the client machines.

To advertise the package:

1. In the Configuration Manager console, navigate to System Center Configuration Manager / Site Database / Computer Management / Software Distribution / Advertisements.

2. Right-click on Advertisements, and then click New / Advertisement.

The New Advertisement Wizard is displayed.

3. Enter a descriptive name for the advertisement and (optionally) a comment, then select the NCapture package created in Step 3 - Create the package.

4. Select the collection (of client machines) that you want to advertise the package to. For example, a collection of Windows 7 machines.

5. Click Next.

6. On the Schedule page, select the dates and times that you want the package to run.

7. Continue through the wizard, selecting your preferred options, and then click Finish to create the advertisement.

At the scheduled time and date SCCM sends the package to the client machines. When these machines recognize that the package is available, the installation process begins.
