network shared folder are automatically shared. You point users to this location
to install the program.
You can create a deployment folder on a network share as part of the process
of creating the deployment. If you plan to create several deployments of the
same product or suite, configured for different user groups, then these
deployments can share the same administrative image, and the shortcuts can
reside in the same folder. However, if you plan to create deployments of
different products or suites, it is recommended that you create separate product
folders on the network share before starting to create deployments.
For example, you can name the network share folder Deployments on the
desktop of the system where you want deployments stored. You can then add
subfolders inside the shared Deployments folder that clearly convey the name
