Deployment Profile: Options

Vector AM Client deployment enables you to specify whether Client installations are performed silently, or under the control of the target PCs' users. It can also record installation and error messages so that you can check on the discoveries it has made and the progress of Client installations. Use this tab to control the level of interactivity you want to allow, and to control the level of logging for the installation.

To specify the installation options for a deployment profile:

1    To record the details of the deployments performed for the current Site, select Enable deployment logging.

2    To record the details of the Client installation on each target PC, select Enable client logging.

3    By default, Client installations are performed when users next log on or reboot their PCs. To force Vector AM to perform the installation immediately, select Enable real-time mode.

4    Choose a User Prompting option. Select:

Prompt before installing to display a message on the target PC before the Client installation starts. To allow users to postpone the installation, type the maximum number of postponements they can make in the Refusal limit field.

Display error messages only to restrict the Client installer to displaying error messages.

Suppress all messages to prevent the display of all Client installation messages.

5    The Redeployment Settings enable you to automatically update existing Clients, and to perform regular one-shot audits of PCs where the Client is not installed. Select:

Never to prevent automatic redeployment of the Client.

Every and enter a value to redeploy the Client at the specified interval.

6    If you want Vector AM to update existing Clients when the specified Client Kit Location is upgraded with a new version of the Client, select Automatically upgrade Client to the latest version.

7    Click OK to save your changes.
