• Create location profiles for remote deployment(administrator only) An Access Connections administrator can define location profiles for deployment to the client computers. Considerations for deploying Access Connections Collecting information about the various places where users might attempt to connect and the kinds of connections available in those locations will help you develop pre-configured profiles that users can import and use right away. By capturing working configurations in profiles which can be deployed with the initial image, support calls can be reduced and users can immediately take advantage of their network connections without intervention. The Administrator Feature Enabler tool simplifies the task of deploying location profiles, global settings, and client configuration policies to individuals or groups of individuals running Access Connections in a corporate environment. The deployment of profiles and settings can be accomplished during the initial system deployment as part of your corporate image or after systems are in the field using standard remote deployment methods.
