Modify a Deployment
Inside each deployment folder is a Tools folder that contains a shortcut (.LNK
file) named Create & Modify a Deployment. You can use this shortcut to
■ Create a new deployment configuration
■ Create a new deployment configuration that uses an existing deployment
as a template
■ Modify the configuration of an existing deployment
The installer pages guide you through the process, similar to when creating
an original deployment. If your original administrative image was set to include
only products required by the deployment configuration, then your options
for creating or modifying the deployment are limited. In particular, you cannot
add products to the deployment that are not in the original administrative
image. Conversely, if your original administrative image was not set to include
only the required products, then it includes all product files. As a result, you
can add products when you modify this deployment or when you create new
deployment configurations.
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.
