Using resources directly
If you do not want to create a shortcut to a resource, but still want to use a resource to
assign a job to a computer, you can move the resource to a designated computer. To do
so:
1.
Enable the Shortcuts view.
2.
Click Resources at the bottom of the Shortcuts window.
3.
Browse to the selected resource and drag it to the appropriate computer.
You can create a new script file from the Resources view and use it directly to schedule
it on a computer. See
Creating new script files
See
Console options
on page 82 for options to set refresh intervals for the Resources
view.
The Thin Client view of the Deployment Console provides a simplified experience when
dealing exclusively with Thin Clients. The functionality of the Thin Client view is identical
to that of the current Deployment Console. However, you can switch from Full view to
Thin Client view.
The Thin Client Console has the following panes:
Computers
Resources
Software Packages
Inventory
The Computers, Resources, and Software Packages panes are on the left side of the
Thin Client view, while the Inventory pane is on the right side of the Thin Client view.
During installation, you can install the Deployment Solution Thin Client view. By default,
the traditional Deployment Console is installed.
If you select Thin Client view, a Thin Client Jobs system folder is created. All the jobs
created from the Deployment Solution Thin Client view are stored in this folder. During
the installation process, the following folders are created in this hierarchy for the Thin
Client resources:
Configuration Packages
Images
Software Packages
Deployment Solution for Thin Clients uses the same installation program as Deployment
Solution. No licensing is required even if you select Thin Client Install.
To install thin client
To install Thin Client, choose one of the following options:
On the Deployment Server Install Configuration dialog, select the Thin Client
Install option. The Deployment Console Thin Client View appears.
