4 On the Configure <name> page, Administrative Image section, specify
the following data:
a Enter a descriptive name for the deployment that identifies the
user group, platform, or other attribute to differentiate this
deployment from others.
b Enter the path or browse to the shared network folder where you
want to create and store your administrative image.
IMPORTANT If your deployment folder is nested inside a series of
subfolders, you risk exceeding the path length limit set by the Windows
operating system. Avoid this possibility by placing your deployments
in a location at or near the top directory of the drive, such as
\\serverXX\Deployments.
Users install the program from this location.
c Select either 32-bit or 64-bit for the target operating system.
d Choose whether to include only the products required by this
configuration.
■ If selected, the deployment cannot be modified in future to
include additional products.
■ If unselected, the administrative image will include all possible
products, so the current deployment can be modified in any
way.
5 In the Installation Settings section, select one or more of these
options:
■ Silent mode runs the installation in background, without prompting
the user for any input.
NOTE Silent mode can automatically restart the user's computer without
warning after installation.
■ Log file on each workstation can enable users to review and
troubleshoot their own installations.
■ Network log file in a central location supports the network
administrator in reviewing data for all installations.
NOTE The network log file must be in a shared folder where users of the
deployment have read-write access. Otherwise, log data for user
installations cannot be written to the log file.
6 Review and accept the Autodesk software license agreement.
