Run Batch Files
After creating a batch file, you move it to a server or use a mapped drive letter
or a UNC (universal naming convention) path. If you place it on a server for
users to run, create a shared folder on the server, and then add users to the
share with the rights they need. Users who just run the batch file can have
read-only access to the shared folder.
Next, in another server location, create a directory for each product you want
to install. Copy the installation files to this directory from the product media.
You may also want to create directories for service packs, extensions, and your
own customization tools.
Use one of the following methods to run an installation batch file:
■ Run the batch file manually at each individual computer. To run the
installation, paste the batch file into the Run dialog box or run it from the
Windows command prompt.
■ Send an email to each user who should run the batch file, with the UNC
path and any required instructions.
■ Email the batch file to each user with instructions for use.
■ Set up the batch file so that it runs on login.
Group Policies for Deployments
With group policies, you can advertise and install a program by assigning a
deployment to specific computers. Generally, you would assign the deployment
to a computer that is shared by several users. A deployment assigned to a
computer can be used by any user of that computer.
NOTE Autodesk products are designed to be installed on a computer so that any
user who logs on to the computer can run the software. If you assign a deployment
to a specific user rather than a computer, you may encounter problems when a
second specified user tries to install or uninstall a copy of the program.
