Alternative Distribution Methods 2 Alternative Distribution Methods Overview of Distribution Methods In addition to standard deployments, you can use the following alternative methods of distributing Autodesk programs on Windows platforms: ■ Scripting. See Use Batch Files to Deploy the Program (page 13). ■ Group Policy Objects (GPOs). See Use Group Policies to Run a Deploy- ment (page 16). ■ Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM). See Use Microsoft SCCM to Deploy Products (page 21). ■ Imaging Software. See Distribute Products Using Imaging Software (page 24). Use Batch Files to Deploy the Program A batch file executes a set of commands. Installation batch files are useful for installation of stand-alone or network licensed programs on computers that are connected to a network. These files are also useful for installing service packs, extensions, and object enablers on a network. The batch file consists of one or more commands, as well as command switches that specify options, and flags that modify the options. An installation script also contains path names. 13
