Deploying 3DSMax 2021 with On-Demand Installation

[justinlowe]

Is there any documentation on deploying with the new on-demand installer in a corporate environment? I've been using PDQ for the past three years with the old installers without a hitch but I seem to be running into UAC issues with the new installer as it calls secondary exes. I've tried all three command line options provided in the downloaded batch files with no success. See attachments of a target machine.

Hello @justinlowe, 

Thanks for posting. 

Sure, we have some basic documentation for the new online deployment feature. We also have a 

Best Practices for creating a deployment document. 

You seem to be on step #15, are you creating the deployment remotely over WAN or VPN etc.? 

It is best practice to create a deployment on a local workstation with Administrator privileges.
