Deployment Checklist
Close all other programs and disable anti-virus software.
Decide what languages you will include in your adminis-
trative image, and what languages you will use for your
deployment package.
NOTE Languages can be included when you initially
create a deployment, or when you create a new deploy-
ment configuration, but not when you modify a deploy-
ment.
Determine whether to create log files on individual
computers, in the deployment folder, or both.
Determine whether to run installations in silent mode.
NOTE When products are installed in silent mode, the
user's system can automatically reboot without warning
when the installation is complete.
Identify other applicable configuration settings such as
locations of support files, and whether to automatically
install service packs.
Identify other applicable configuration settings such as
global options, workspaces, datatools, avatars, Clash
Detective rules and custom tests, Presenter archives,
object animation scripts, and so on.
