Power control

Altiris Deployment Solution™ from Symantec User's Guide
Deployment Solution supports long names in the REM replacetoken command. If your
file name includes spaces, enclose the file name in quotes so that it handles correctly.
The current variables include:
Temp. Enter Temp in the Destination path to set the Temp directory (identified in the
system path) for the managed computer. Example: Instead of entering
C:\windows\temp\setup.exe in the Destination path, enter temp:setup.exe.

Copy file to advanced

Select options to copy files directly from the Deployment Share. This option is for files
stored on another network server in a distributed Deployment Server installation.
Copy files using Deployment Server. This option distributes software packages
through the Deployment Server to the managed computer, requiring two file copy
transactions if the Deployment Share is on another file server. Use this option for Simple
installs to take advantage of security rights defined by the Deployment Server. You can
use a relative path name entered in the Source Path field in the Copy Files dialog. This
is the default option.
Copy directly from file source. Click this option to copy packages directly from the
Deployment Share, sending only one copy across the network. It copies the file directly
to avoid running through the Deployment Server and diminishes processor output.
Because the Deployment Agent doesn't recognize shared rights and is not guaranteed to
have a mapped drive to the data source, you need to identify a user name and password
for the data share computer from the target computer. This option also requires a full
UNC path name in the Source Path field in the Copy File dialog.
File Source logon. Enter the user name and password for the client computer and the
Deployment Share. Both must have the same user name and password (this is not an
issue if both exist in the same domain).
Start the computer using Wake on LAN or run standard power control options to restart
the computer, shut down, or log off the current user.
