Use Central Management to Deploy MSI Packages

Use the Package Manager to upload companion install packages (.msi) to the Administrative Server for deployment to specified users. Companion install packages can be created in the Installation Customization Tool or other MSI creation tools, and may include toolbars, macros, keyboard maps, and settings files.

NOTE:You can simplify deployment of MSI packages by saving your customized sessions as compound session document files.

These packages are automatically deployed to a user's desktop when the user logs on to the Management and Security Server or starts a Reflection Workspace session with Centralized Management enabled.

To upload a package

  1. In a web browser, start Management and Security Server by setting the URL to:

    http://server:port /mss/AdminStart.html

    where server and port are replaced with the Administrative Server address.

  2. Click Administrative WebStation and log on as administrator.

  3. Click Package Manager on the left.

  4. Click Add and then Browse to locate the .msi file you want to add or update. You can optionally add a description about the package.

  5. Click Save to upload the package to the Administrative Server.
