Using Auto-Deploy

Auto-Deploy is an installation tool that allows system administrators to automatically distribute preconfigured Client installations and connections to client machines.

When working with the Auto-Deploy feature, Users can:

• Configure Auto-Deploy.
• Run Auto-Deploy.

Use the Auto-Deploy Configuration window to configure Auto-Deploy to push out Client installations. When configuring Auto-Deploy, the system administrator defines:

• Which Client connection to push out.
  Important: For first-time installations, the Client connection must be configured during the Auto-Deploy configuration. Refer to Configure the Client Connection.
• Where to place the installation files.
• Connection and minor release options.
• Which CSM applications to install.
• Installation account options.
