App Manager updates with Winget

[Rich.H]

Hi,

I have enabled the new App manger with Winget in Habitat 1.0.1.48.

I have enabled Chocolatey Approved, Chocolatey Installed, Chocolatey Standard Deployment and Use Winget on all workstations on 1 site. Which was the recommended setup for using Winget.

How do I now just update apps for eg, 7-Zip and Notepad++, but not install the app if it is not installed. I understand I need to add the winget versions of the apps into the application list. Do I just enable the app in the list?

I am a bit worried that I may push out/Install an app to all workstations/servers by accident that is not required.

Thanks,

Richard

If you do not want to have applications auto install when not present on agent. Make sure that at the client level the Auto install box is uncheked. You can then verify any agent by looking at the edf's for Auto install and verify they are unchecked. If the state of unchecked is true then no packages will be pushed to agent. Enabled or not. Enabled at the client level will allow packages to be manually pushed via the plugin is no automation is selected.
