Request a package (if they receive many requests, application will be added to the database) 2. If the software is not in the PDQ database, you can: 1. Package library is a rich list of software which you can use to install. If you deploy with PDQ, you can say goodby to those problems as such “features” are removed with installation. Because users don’t have permissions they can’t update the programs by them self. For example, the most annoying thing with Adobe Reader and Java is a feature called automatic update. Because PDQ deploy is action based, amazing things can be done with installation. PDQ Deploy, depending on the version you use has a built in list of programs (they call it Package Library) which can be used for automatic deployment. When you open PDQ Deploy console, you will see a list of programs you can select and install on the computers. Let’s take a look how to do software installation and software patching with style and only couple of seconds. It also has some pretty nifty features and a great price. Not only does it do what it’s supposed to do – deploy software – but it performs without an error when others fail. I found a product called PDQ Deploy from the company called Admin Arsenal.
As I was in a hurry, I decided to find another solution that would help me fix the problem. I am not 100% sure what happened but I think that the link to the download expired. It all started with the error I received when trying to download Skype in Desktop Central. It was also the second time after a while that I got really excited about a product which is not web based. After all, you can’t keep your boss waiting. It was not the first time I had problems, but it was the first time that I got really excited to find a replacement. Then one day, I couldn’t deploy Skype to a director’s computer. Until now, I was a happy user of ManageEngine Desktop Central. How well those tools perform is another matter. Now, there are many tools which all to some extent do one thing – deploy the software to client computers. Time has changed and so have deployment options. Once pressed, a script was executed which opened a terminal window saying – Don’t close this window until you see message Operation Complete – Then you can close the window.
We sent email to our users with a big red button saying Press immediately. In one of the companies I used to work in 2001 we used scripts. There are many ways you can deploy software automatically, you can use Group policy for example which is part of the Windows Server and is free. If you have more users and install software manually, then something is wrong. You can manually deploy software if you work in a company with 10 people. I am a big fan of automation and software deployment is one thing that must be automated.
