Setting Package Configuration Options

AdminStudio Enterprise Server 11.0 | Configuration Manager Web Console

On the Configuration Manager Package Configuration Page of Configuration Manager Web Console, you specify distribution configuration fields that the Configuration Manager Server utilizes in the distribution of the package. You can manually enter package and distribution configuration information and settings, or you can choose to attach a Package Definition File (.pdf) to a Windows Installer package to pre-populate these fields.

To set package configuration options:

1. Perform the steps described in Selecting a Package for Distribution.
2. Specify configuration options on each of the following Views of the Configuration Manager Package Configuration Page:
a. Package Settings View—This View opens when a package name is selected in the tree. Specify general information about the package, along with data source, data access, distribution settings, and reporting information. See Setting Package Settings Options.
b. Access Accounts View—This View opens when Access Accounts is selected in the tree. Specify which administrators are allowed to distribute this particular package. See Setting Access Accounts Options.
c. Distribution Points View—This View opens when Distribution Points is selected in the tree. Identify which servers may act as distribution points for this particular package. See Setting Distribution Points Options.
d. Programs View—This View opens when Programs is selected in the tree. Specify programs (that will run on the clients) to execute the distribution of the application, and the types of clients on which the program can run (directories, operating system versions, etc.). See Setting Programs Options.
e. Advertisements View—This View opens when Advertisements is selected in the tree. Identify the collection of users to receive this package, and specify when the package will be available for distribution and whether it is optional or mandatory. See Setting Advertisements Options.

Caution: Remember to click Update on each view to save your changes.
