These 7-10 page mini-tutorials cover the basics of Deployment Server and the applications that
come with it. Topics include pre-requisites, agent install procedure and configuration, etc. These
are not intended to replace the userguides. When you need some of the advanced features, you'll want
to dig into the complete userguides.
Rapid Deploy, Rapid Install and Personality Transplant can all be run as stand alone programs or
from within the DS console on groups of computers simultaneously. There are many options available
using command line switches and DS variables.
There are no pre-configured reports or notification policies using Deployment Server alone. However, if
NS and Deployment Solution are being used, then the Altiris Agent and DS Server Agent install on the
Deployment Server allowing communication between the DS eXpress database and the NS Altiris database.
This is the process that allows Deployment Solution to generate
report(s) on your deployment server(s).
