Package Deployment Tool requirements
The Package Deployment Tool requires the following before you test a
deployment or perform an actual deployment:
Ensure that you are in a networked environment with the target computers.
All target computers must run Microsoft 32-bit operating systems (for
example, Windows NT/2000/2003 Server/XP).
You must have an administrator user name and password on the target
computers, and the administrator user name and password must be the
same for all target computers.
The easiest way to accomplish this is for all target computers to be in the
same domain and for you to use a domain administrator user name and
password.
An administrator share must be enabled on the target computers.
See
“Entering deployment authentication information”
on page 86.
