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.
