I have a piece of research software that gets updated every few months.

I want to be able to modify the package and then in the console schedule a reinstall to all previous computers the package was assigned to.

The way I have to do it now is, run a report to find out who has the software, print it out, go through the management console and select each computer, then do a schedule reinstall of the task.  The package/assignments lets you reinstall now but that is not an option in our environment.

Any help, tip, trick in this area would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks, Mike

This is a known issue with versions 7 version 8. One workaround would be to create an organizational or configuration group that contains the computers that usually receive this software. Then you can assign the package to the group. When it comes time to update the package and redeploy it, you will be able to schedule a reinstallation to the group.
