Deployment Profile: Profile Details
Deployment Profiles control the deployment of the Client on eligible computers on your network. Each profile includes the location of the Client kit to be used, the type of deployment, the account to be used, and logging and prompting options for the deployment. Use the Deployment Profiles dialog to specify the options for this profile.
To name a profile and specify the installation details:
1 In the Profile name field, enter a name for the profile.
2 In the Kit type list, select the type of deployment you want to perform with this profile. Choose:
Vector
Asset Management Client to install the Client.
Vector
Asset Management One-shot Audit to collect information from networked PCs without installing
the Client.
3 In the PD File field, enter the location and name of the Package Definition file that specifies how the Client is to be deployed. Click Edit to view or change the definition.
4 Install types specify the environments to which the Client can be deployed, the location of the Client kit, and the deployment commands. Select the Install Type you want to use for this profile.
5 Select the Credentials and Kit Location tab to continue.
Notes
The Client kit always takes precedence over the One-shot Client kit. If a node is included in both a standard Client profile and a one-shot profile, the one-shot audit is cancelled.
