SCCM Application Deployment Options | ConfigMgr | Endpoint Manager
In this post, you will learn about the available Application deployment options in SCCM. Application deployment has two options for selecting the deployment when a client uses a distribution point from the neighbour or the default site boundary group.
In SCCM Application deployment options, you can specify if clients should download the application when using a distribution point from a neighbor or the default site boundary groups.
You might also experience this if the client is stuck downloading an application or fails to download the application content.
In the section below, you will learn how to validate or change the deployment options when you experience application download failures.

Modify Existing Application Deployment Options
To change the deployment options for the existing application, Follow the below steps –
Go to the Software Library workspace in the Configuration Manager console, expand Application Management, and select Applications.
Select an existing application and select the Deployment Types tab. Right-click on the existing deployment type and select Properties.
- Switch to the Content tab, Under Deployment options, you can specify if clients should download the application when using a distribution point from a neighbor or the default site boundary groups.
- By default, this setting is Do not download content.
When you view the properties of a deployment type, the following options appear on the Content tab –
- Allow clients to use distribution points from the default site boundary group: Specify if clients should download and install the software from a distribution point in the site default boundary group when the content isn’t available from a distribution point in the current or neighbor boundary groups.
- Deployment options – You can change the Deployment options. Click Apply and Ok to apply the changes.
Additional Tips – If the client is stuck downloading an application or fails to download the application content, Ensure it’s distributed to a distribution point.
If you can’t configure a boundary for a client, or if a specific boundary group can’t be a member of another boundary group, change the Deployment options to Download content from the distribution point and run locally. Hopefully, this will help you resolve the Application download failure issues.
