Creating a deployment
to multiple computers
How can I prepare to create a successful
deployment to multiple computers?
You can avoid problems and ensure a smooth deployment of AutoCAD LT by
employing the following best practices.
■ Confirm that your network, servers, and client workstations meet the
minimum System Requirements for AutoCAD LT. (Click "System
Requirements" at the bottom of the Installer.) Be sure that you have installed
the .NET 4.0 Framework.
■ Obtain Administrator permissions to create and install deployments.
■ Install the latest Windows
®
updates on all computers to which AutoCAD
LT will be deployed and restart them.
■ Create a shared folder where deployments will reside. Create a subfolder for
each deployment you plan to create. Verify that all users have full read/write
access to the network share where your deployments will be located. Note:
If you create AutoCAD LT deployments in multiple languages, each language
requires a new deployment in a separate deployment folder.
■ Identify locations for your support content files and any additional files you
need.
■ Copy the entire installation from the product media to a local drive and
create the deployment from that location.
■ Before you create the deployment, exit all applications and turn off anti-virus
programs.
