To modify a deployment
1 Open the shared network folder that contains the deployment.
2 In the Tools folder, double-click the Create & Modify a Deployment
shortcut.
The installer opens at the Modify Deployment page.
3 Click through the deployment configuration pages, and select the
required options.
4 Click Create Deployment.
Direct Users to the Administrative Image
After you have created the deployment, users can install the program using
the shortcut (.LNK file) located in the deployment folder with the
administrative image. The shortcut name matches the deployment name that
you specified when creating the deployment. Notify users of the shortcut
name and location. Instruct them to double-click the shortcut to start the
installation. If the deployment uses silent mode, advise users to keep other
applications closed during the installation, because their computers might
restart automatically after products are installed.
Uninstall Deployed Products
Each deployment includes a batch file that you can use to automate the
uninstallation of some or all of the products in the deployment. Along with
the file there is a text document that explains how to customize the batch file
for your use. The files are located in the <deployment name>\SMS_SCCM scripts
folder, and the file names are as follows:
■ <deployment name>_Uninstall.txt
■ Product_Uninstall_ReadMe.txt
In summary, the process involves converting the .TXT file to a .BAT file with
ANSI encoding, and then uncommenting a number of lines in the file,
removing the :: characters at the beginning of the ::call :funcUninstall command
line for each product that you want to uninstall.
