Terms

Active Directory A directory service from Microsoft that is part of Windows 2000 and Windows
2003 Server that manages the identities and relationships that make up network environments.
administrative image A collection of shared file resources created by the deployment wizard
and used by deployments to install the program to network workstations.
advertising A pull technology that notifies users of an updated software product that is
available for installation. Users typically double-click a shortcut (or do a similar operation)
to complete the installation of the advertised product.
deploy The process of installing an Autodesk product to one or more computers on a network.
deployment A link to a unique MST (Microsoft Transform) file that serves as a basis for an
installation. Using the deployment wizard, administrators can create multiple deployments
that result in different types of installations for users.
directory service A network service that identifies all resources on a network and makes them
accessible to users and applications. Resources include email addresses, computers, and
peripheral devices such as printers. Ideally, the directory service should make the physical
network topology and protocols transparent so that a user on a network can access any resource
without knowing where or how it is physically connected. Virtually all directory services are
based on the X.500 ITU standard.
group policy Microsoft server technology that provides a way to do push installations and
advertising-based installations using standard Microsoft 2000 Server administration
components.
installation image A deployment that consists of an MSI file, any associated transforms,
additional user-specified custom files, and profile and registry settings.
