Set Up a Source Directory Using the Deployment Wizard
When you use SCCM to deploy Autodesk software, you set up the source
directory using the deployment wizard.
The deployment wizard creates an administrative image that is used by SCCM
to distribute the Autodesk software to the target systems. The location where
you perform the administrative installation becomes the location of the
package source directory.
To learn more about deployments and setting up the source directory for
Autodesk software, see the following topics:
■ Setting Up and Creating a Deployment on page 42
■ Prepare for a Network Deployment on page 43
■ Create a Default Deployment on page 65
■ Create a Custom Deployment on page 67
■ Modify a Deployment (Optional) on page 71
NOTE It is recommended that you test the deployment created by the deployment
wizard before trying to configure SCCM to deploy the program to ensure that
there are no problems with the administrative image and deployment.
To test your deployment
1 Log on to a Windows workstation as a user who has administrative
privileges.
2 Navigate to the source directory where your deployment was created.
3 Double-click the deployment shortcut created by the deployment wizard.
The program will either be installed or error information will be written
to the log file at %temp%.
Create the SCCM Software Installation Package
After creating the source directory using the deployment wizard, you create
the SCCM software installation package. An SCCM package contains the files
and instructions that SCCM uses to distribute the software and advertise the
package. The deployment wizard creates the files and instructions, but SCCM
must be configured to use these files.
