Network Installation Images in multiple offices.

[Anonymous]

Question, If you are running multiple offices from the same flex license server, is it possible to have one client installation image that you use in multiple office. it appears that the ".MST" file has several server specific UNC paths. Has anyone had any luck editing these paths and using the same image from office to office, or do you have to spool a seperate image for each office's install? Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Chuck, What we have done in these situations is create the deployment images on the server that will have the flex license. We them had them mirror that drive and put on the other servers for deployment only. This cut out the bandwidth problems that come with multi office installs. Once deployed to client we removed the local mirrors and the clients now all point to the license server in a single location. Hope this helps.

Our IT department set up a DFS share that replicates. The UNC path is \\it.local\commonshare but points to \\server1\ at one location and \\server2\ at another location. \\server1\ is the master server and is daily replicating to \\server2\. When I use NIW I use the path \\it.local\commonshare\... This way each office installs AutoCAD from the closest server. Besides that we have distributed FLEXlm licenses on 4 offices. -- Best Regards, Jimmy Bergmark CAD and Database Developer Manager at www.pharmadule-emtunga.com Take a look at JTB FlexReport (FLEXlm report tool) - www.jtbworld.com/jtbflexreport SmartPurger (Purges automatically) - www.jtbworld.com/?/smartpurger.htm or download some freeware at www.jtbworld.com More on AutoCAD 2005; www.jtbworld.com/autocad2005.htm "Chuck Blackford" wrote in message news:41333abd$1_2@newsprd01... > Question, > > If you are running multiple offices from the same flex license server, is > it > possible to have one client installation image that you use in multiple > office. it appears that the ".MST" file has several server specific UNC > paths.
