SCCM 2012: How to properly update the content of an application?

Solution 1:

There is an option on the package to disconnect users so that sccm can update the package. Is this happening with all packages or just one?

Update

I think I know what's happening. I've never used the redistribute option as I never saw the point, now I'm curious and this blog post confirmed my theory that it's more for repair and not updating a package. It copies the package from a third location (not package source like updating the Distribution point) to the DP, which is not what we want to do.

To update the DP, highlight your package and click the highlighted button in my screenshot.

2nd Update

When working with App-v Applications, if I have to update the content, once I stage it to the directory that sccm will copy it from, I highlight the package, then go to the Deployment Types tab, then up top I will click on 'Refresh Content' and go through the prompts. I can confirm this works. In my particular application, this installs from the App Catalog, but apps advertised to the machine should work the same.
