Through job templates defined in software policies, you can specify "Remove existing installation records and rerun the selected procedure" that, on Policy evaluation removes existing installation records and reruns the installation procedure regardless of whether the software is already recorded as being installed.
For example, if software has been uninstalled manually without using the software catalog, this change is not reflected in the Software Delivery job history in the MDB. With this feature you can rerun the installation procedure even if the Software Delivery job history indicates that the software is already installed.
Important! Use this feature with great care. If set up wrongly, jobs may be scheduled to run each time the software policy is evaluated, potentially causing an undesired load on the infrastructure! Also, the software policy reruns the specified procedure not taking into account whether that procedure is suitable for rerunning or not. The decision if the use of the rerun feature with any particular installation procedure is appropriate is left to the user!
