Server Locations View

AdminStudio 2023 | 25.0 | Tuner

If you install from a network server, and if you install features to run from the server or that will be advertised for installation on their first use, the applications may need access to the server sometime after the initial installation. The applications may also require access to the server if a file is deleted or becomes corrupt, as the application can copy the problematic file(s) automatically from the server.

To ensure that users always have access to an available network server for these circumstances, you can copy the administrative installation to one or more additional servers, and then specify those servers from within this view. If the primary server should become unavailable, the Windows Installer will attempt to connect to the other servers specified here, in the order they are specified. If no server is found, the Windows Installer will prompt the user to specify the location of the server.
