Include Service Packs

Page 12 highlights

IMPORTANT The configuration settings you choose apply to every instance of the product installed from the deployment. After the deployment is created, these settings can be changed only by modifying the deployment. For more information, see Modify a Deployment (page 10). Most products allow you to choose an installation type, either Typical to select the most common options, or Custom to review options in more detail. Some other common product settings are as follows: ■ User preferences for product behavior ■ Installation of support files, such as material libraries ■ Access to online resources Click Installation Help for further information specific to your product or suite. Include Service Packs Most products provide the option to include service packs in a deployment. You can download a service pack from autodesk.com, or use a service pack stored on a local hard drive or network location. In either case, the service pack will be applied only after the installation of the main product is completed. If you select the Install Service Pack from autodesk.com button, the service pack will be automatically downloaded and you will not need to extract the MSP file. You can add multiple service packs to a deployment only if the service packs are locally stored, not if you are downloading them from autodesk.com. NOTE If the deployment process for the main product is canceled or fails, the service pack installation will automatically be canceled. Two options are available for including service packs in deployments: ■ Append the Service Pack onto the Deployment. When you append a service pack, the service pack is applied to the current deployment only. Multiple service packs may be appended to a deployment. The service pack file is included in the deployment and the service pack is applied after the product is deployed. ■ Merge the Service Pack into the Administrative Image MSI File. With this option, the service pack is merged into the administrative image. 6 | Chapter 1 Network Administration and Deployment
