Select Apply to all users to run the package for all users with accounts on the
computer.
If you want to send the package to a managed computer with multiple users
and to install it for certain users with a unique password, clear the Apply to all
users box.
Example: To install an .RIP for a specific user account on a computer, add
values to the Additional command-line switches field:
-cu:"JDoe;TMaya;Domain\BLee"
Note
The command-line switches are specific to any package you are distributing that
supports command-line options, such as .MSI and Personality Packages. For a
complete list of command-line options, see the Wise MSI Product Guide and the
Altiris PC Transplant Pro Product Guide.
5. If distributing an install package or other types of packages with associated support
files, you can select Copy all directory files to install all peer files in the directory.
Select Copy subdirectories to distribute peer files in the directory and all files in
associated subdirectories.
Note
Some clients may have software installed on the client computer that, for protection
against harmful software, only lets software programs on a list of "well-known"
executables to run. Therefore, whenever the system administrator wanted to install
a patch on client computers, he or she would have to update the well-known-
executables list on all the client computers, which could be a lot of work.
To save the work of updating that list, or of manually renaming distribution
packages, the RenameDistPkg feature was added. Now, the system administrator
may update the well-known-executable list once with a filename of their choice. The
well-known filename may be entered into the Windows registry of the Deployment
Server computer (the computer running axengine.exe) as the Value data of a string
value named RenameDistPkg under the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Altiris\Altiris eXpress\Options key. If the
RenameDistPkg registry entry is set, Deployment Server renames the installation
files that are copied to the client computers.
This feature only affects files that are temporarily copied to the client computer as
part of a Distribute Software task. The file that is to be executed only during the
installation, sometimes referred to as the package, is the file that is renamed, not
the files that are actually installed to various locations on the target computer.
If the Copy all directory files option is enabled, only the main (installable) file is
renamed.
6. Click Advanced to specify how files are distributed to the managed computer. You
can copy through the Deployment Server, or copy directly from the file source and
then run, or run directly from the file source. See
page 177. Click Next.
