same administrative images, and the shortcuts can reside in the same folder.
Any subfolders inside a shared folder are automatically shared.
For more information on network shares, see Create a Network Share (page

When should I select all products for the admin-
istrative image, and can I add products later?
If you include all products in your deployment, the administrative image will
be larger, but you will be able to modify the deployment or create new ones
without restrictions. If you select the checkbox Include only Products
Required by this Deployment Configuration, the resulting deployment
includes a subset of the available products. Any modifications to this
deployment, or additional deployments based on the first one, will be limited
to the same set of products or fewer.
It is recommended that you include all available products if you plan to create
multiple deployments from this administrative image with different product
mixes, and prefer not to use the installation media again. If there are products
you will never use, or if you do not expect to create additional deployments,
you should select a subset of products.
You can create another deployment later, and include additional products,
but to do this you need to create a new administrative image from the
installation media.
Where can I check if service packs are available
for my software?
To find out if a patch or Service Pack is available for your product, visit the
Product Support page.
