the installation and start the program.

Use Microsoft SCCM to Deploy Products
Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) allows you to manage
software distribution to selected target systems through a remote process. For
more information about this topic, go to Microsoft TechNet and search for
"System Center Configuration Manager".
NOTE Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 must be installed on each target computer
before using SCCM to distribute Autodesk products.
To deploy Autodesk products with SCCM, it is recommended that you follow
this process:
1 Identify or create a collection of target computers to receive the software
package.
2 Create a source directory using the Create Deployment procedure in the
installer. See Set Up a Source Directory for SCCM (page 21).
