Deploying Servers

After you have added a server location and created a deployment package, you can deploy an infrastructure or mobile device server using the Task Scheduler. When you deploy a server, it is installed at the server location.

Note:   If the destination computer is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2, use the local device server installer rather than a scheduled deployment. For information on the local device server installer, see Installing a Device Server.

To deploy a server:

1   Ensure you have created a server deployment package and a server location.
2   Click Tools > Task Schedule.

The Task Schedule dialog box appears.

3   Click Add.

The Scheduled Tasks Wizard appears.

4   Select Deploy/Update Device Servers from the Task Type drop-down list and click Next.

The Select Task Destinations screen appears.

5   Select the server location by enabling the checkbox next to its name and click Next.

The Select Server Package to Deploy screen appears.

6   Select a server package and click Next.

Note:   If you have not created a deployment package, you can do so at this time by clicking the Open Deployment Package Manager link at the bottom of the dialog box. See Building Server Deployment Packages for more information on creating deployment packages.

The Select Scheduling Options screen appears.

7   Determine when the event will occur and click Next.

The Review Your Task screen appears.

8   Review your the task to ensure that it is correct and click Next.

The Task Scheduled screen appears.

9   Click Next to schedule a new event, or click Finish.

The task is added to the Scheduled Tasks list. The task will run according to its schedule, and once it has completed, it will move to the Completed Tasks list.

Note:   You must perform a synchronization after a server is deployed to a server location in order to activate the server.
