Local Installation
A local installation is initiated by the user on the target machine by
executing one of the AT&T Global Network Client installation packages.
Group Policy Distribution
When installing the AT&T Global Network Client using an Active
Directory Group Policy you must define a new object in your Group
Policy manager and define the Software Installation Package with the
full network path to the installation files, not the local path to the files. The installation files must be
copied to the local machine to do the installation.
Upgrading Previous Releases
If you already have the AT&T Global Network Client (version 7 or later) installed on your workstation, the
installation can perform an upgrade to version 9.x. During the upgrade, the previous AT&T Global
Network Client will be uninstalled, the workstation may be rebooted, and then the new AT&T Global
Network Client will be installed. Administrators can suppress the reboot after the previous AT&T Global
Network Client has been uninstalled by setting the installation property
“SUPPRESS_UPGRADE_REBOOT=1” for the installation package but this feature is not recommended and
will require detailed testing on your part prior to selection. For more information, refer to the chapter
titledAdvanced Customizations Using Windows Installer.”
As part of the upgrade process, the user’s data and AT&T Global Network Client customizations will be
preserved whenever possible. This is accomplished by renaming, then restoring the user’s data directory
and the custom data directory. Installation package customizations, such as a custom desktop icon, will
not be preserved. More information about customizations can be found in the Customizations chapter of
this guide.
