New Post: New application branch deployment best practises

HI Filippo,

we had same here, some clints WinXP has to run for a few years sick!.
Using INstallRules is the best way and you will have less effort to maintain the updates.

Assign V11 only to "EqualTo" (or if you like "LessThanOrEqualTo") Winxp in "is installed" and "is installable" section.
This updates will only shown to win xp clients.

Assing V12 only to "GreaterthanorEqualTo" Windows7 in both sections.
Your WinXP clients wil not see them.

The Wixp rule have to look like this: <bar:WindowsVersion Comparison="LessThanOrEqualTo" MajorVersion="5" MinorVersion="1" ProductType="1"/>
The Win7 Rule: <bar:WindowsVersion Comparison="GreaterThanOrEqualTo" MajorVersion="6" MinorVersion="1" ProductType="1"/>

Benefit of using OS based assigning: If you accidently add a memberserver to a wrong group, "he" will not see that update or application.
