Deploying Scripts
Altiris Deployment Solution provides a number of pre-defined tasks you can combine to
create complex management jobs.
When you need to perform a management task that isn’t covered effectively by the
predefined tasks, DS provides an environment to pre-process, deliver, and execute
VBScripts, batch files, and shell scrips. These scripts have access to the full processing
capability of the operating system command processor, as well as several additional
features provided by Deployment Server:
z
Access to your eXpress share and any other network resources available in the
production or automation environment.
z
Intelligent access to values stored in your DS database. DS retrieves values based
on the computer currently running the script, so a single script can provide unique
values for 1000’s of computers.
z
Firm, logevent, and other Altiris tools.
The following diagram illustrates how scripts are processed by DS. Each step of this
process is discussed in greater detail in this section:
When creating a script, you target it for the automation or production environment, and
specify the operating system for the script. When a scripting task runs, the server pre-
processes the script for database tokens, delivers and executes the script, returns any
error messages generated by the script.
