We have some very old applications that i’d like to package and deploy. All our TS are Win 2003 SP2 and we are running PS4.5.
When i install an application locally i always use the command "change user /install" before installing the applications and then "change user /execute" after the installation.
I'm new to using Installation Manager to package and deploy applications. My question is, Do you have to put each server into "install mode" before pushing out an application? Or does IM take care of that for me?
Thanks in advance,
Andrew.
Change User is a per server command that needs to be run before and after an install. Windows 2003 SP2 has "intelligence" built into it and should be able detect the install and automatically switch the install mode on and then back off. To be on the safe side though I would from cmd "change user /install" before the install and then once the install is complete use "change user /execute." To confirm these actions would be per server if you decide to use them.
