Managing Software Installations

Hello,

I am having a difficult time figuring out how to manage software installation/uninstallation for computers and users. I got it to work by creating a package, and then a configuration for that package, however, it can't be that I need to create or edit a package every time I want to install a piece of software for a computer or user...can it?

I was 'hoping' that I would simply create a package, and that Desktop Central would create the install and uninstall configuration for me, and that I just needed to assign the users or the computers to the install or uninstall package. (Of course the user cannot be in the installation and uninstallation of the same package at the same time). In short:

1. Create Package
2. Desktop Central creates an installation and uninstallation configuration for the software
3. Assign the users and computer in the package so that it knows for what user/computer to install

4. When I remove a user/computer from the installation package, it will automatically uninstall the software from the user/computer (and adds the user to the uninstallation package), and vise-versa

This would allow you to open a package and immediately see to what user or computer it is assigned.

At this time it seems very difficult to manage a large amount of computers efficiently.

So, am I misunderstanding the process of how to create and assign software packages/configurations for computers? Or is this really a "less-then-perfect" way of package and configuration managing at this time?
