Working with Networks
When using and deploying software in a network environment, network administrators
often require additional technical information about the software so they can integrate
support for it correctly and seamlessly. This chapter briefly covers some points of interest
for computer network administrators.

Distributing software to
workstations
When using the software on many computers within a computer network, it is not always
efficient to visit and install the software and subsequent updates manually on each
computer workstation. The installation of the software does support zero administration
installation, whereby the installation package can be located on a central point, usually a
server, and have it install on each relevant workstation, without requiring user
intervention.
To distribute the software without user intervention is a two step process.
1 Create an installation script file that will provide the answers and actions to be
performed on each step of the installation process. To create an installation script, use
the following command line syntax, including the quotes as used:
\\myserver\my_apps_path\setup.exe /a /r /f1"\\myserver\my_apps_path\setup.iss"
2 Ensure that whenever a user installs the software the installation script is used. To
install the software using an installation script previously created use the following
command line:
\\myserver\my_apps_path\setup.exe /s /a /s /f1"\\myserver\my_apps_path\setup.iss"
Where,
a "\\myserver\my_apps_path\" represents the network path to the folder containing the
installation of the LogTag Analyzer software.
b "setup.exe" is the installation software.
