Installs for Network Administrators

If you’re a network administrator, you probably are often faced with the task of distributing the same software to a set of computers. A remote install is an installation process that network administrators can use to remotely place products on several networked computers. Remote installs use the same underlying engine that managed installs are based on. But although the Installer application is used to perform the install tasks on the target clients, the users of these computers do not participate in the installation process; that is, they don’t interact with Installer. In fact, administrators can install products on computers while users are logged in and actively using their systems. Also, administrators can schedule a Remote Desktop task that performs a remote install, ensuring that unavailable computers receive the product when they become available. (See Apple Remote Desktop Administrator's Guide Version 3.2 for more information.
