What is an administrative image?
An administrative image is a collection of shared file resources created during
the deployment process and placed in the shared network deployment folder
from which multiple workstations install the product.
Where should the administrative image of my
deployment be located?
The administrative image for your deployment should be stored in a shared
folder (a network share) you have created before you launch the deployment.
Name the shared folder "Deployments" and put it on the Desktop of the server
where you will store deployments.
How will individual users find the deployed
administrative image?
When you are finished creating the deployment, users can install their software
by using the shortcut located with the administrative image. The shortcut
name matches the deployment name that you specified when you created the
deployment.
Notify users of the location of the administrative image, instruct them to
double-click the shortcut, and provide any other necessary information.
What is 'silent' deployment mode?
A deployment running in 'silent' mode proceeds without input from individual
users, who receive no requests for interaction.
When silent mode is 'off', interactive entries may be made during the
deployment process.
