Altiris Deployment Solution™ from Symantec User's Guide
Click the Advanced tab to set options to stop Initial Deployment from automatically
running the default configuration task sets and jobs. This avoids accidental re-imaging
or overwriting of data and applications for either workstations, such as desktop and
laptop computers, or servers, such as Web and network servers identified by
Deployment Server.
When a computer not yet identified by the Deployment Database is first detected, it is
placed in the New Computers group and an Initial Deployment configuration set and job
is run. However, in many cases you do not want Web or network servers to be
automatically re-imaged without confirmation from IT personnel.
Select Servers to stop servers from automatically running Initial Deployment
configuration jobs. Servers are identified as the managed computers running
multiple processors or identified as a specific server model from specific
manufacturers. Example: Both an HP Proliant computer and a Dell computer with
multiple processors are identified as servers. Identifying a computer as a server by
the operating system cannot be accomplished for new computers until the server
operating system has been installed.
Select Workstations/Clients to force desktop and laptop computers to stop before
automatically running Initial Deployment.
