Using package deployment files
Symantec Packager lets you deploy packages using a preconfigured package
deployment (.dpl) file. You can create this file yourself or set it up through the
Package Deployment Tool.
The package deployment file tracks the domain, computer name or IP address,
the package that will be deployed and its location on the local computer, the
command-line argument to execute the package installation, and the status of
the deployment.
