26 Getting started with Deployment Solution
Installing Deployment site server components
See "About Deployment Solution policies"
Note: Before installing the Deployment components on a site server, you should
install the Package Service and Task Service on that site server. The Package
Service runs on many different operating systems. However, the Task Service is
supported only on Windows XP SP3 and Windows Server 2003 SP2.
All Deployment computer images and Personality Packages are created on the
task server that each managed computer works with. To deploy an image that
was created on a different task server, you must replicate that image to your task
server. You can replicate the image using the basic package replication that is
contained in Symantec Management Platform. You can also configure specific
replication rules for disk image packages.
You must install the site server components before you can replicate packages,
including driver packages. After the components are installed, your packages
become valid and can then be replicated.
You can uninstall and upgrade the components by choosing the appropriate policy
and following those steps.
For more information, search for site server and task server topics in the Symantec
Management Platform Help.
