Deployment and Networking Questions
Where should deployments be located?
It is recommended that you create a network share folder named Deployments
on the desktop of the system where you want to store deployments. You can
then add subfolders named to reflect the products deployed. If you plan to
create several deployments of the same product or suite, configured for
different user groups, then these deployments can share the same
administrative images, and the shortcuts can reside in the same folder. Any
subfolders inside a shared folder are automatically shared.
For more information on network shares, see Create a Network Share (page
45).
When should I select all products for the administrative
image, and can I add products later?
If you include all products in your deployment, the administrative image will
be larger, but you will be able to modify the deployment or create new ones
without restrictions. If you select the checkbox "Include only products required
by this deployment configuration", the resulting deployment includes a subset
of the available products. Any modifications to this deployment, or additional
deployments based on the first one, will be limited to the same set of products
or fewer.
It is recommended that you include all available products if you plan to create
multiple deployments from this administrative image with different product
mixes, and prefer not to use the installation media again. If there are products
you will never use, or if you do not expect to create additional deployments,
you should select a subset of products.
You can create another deployment later, and include additional products,
but to do this you need to create a new administrative image from the
installation media.
