Would be nice if the status in the Admin Image Editor would indicate that there was an error. So I was able to look at the task on the remote machine and found that there is a problem. Thank you though for pointing out it uses Task Scheduler to do the installs, bit of a duh moment for me there. In solution 07028 I'd say they missed a step of connecting to remote computer. S-064813: yep, I remember the \log\ dir permissions issue from initial installations. Once everything else is installed I simply move the machines that need SW Electrical into this group, do a second deploy and then move them back. Once I figured out what the problem was, it was easy to set up a new group in the admin image that only installed SW Electrical. The only hiccup I've had was that our mix of network license and standalone licenses would cause SW Electrical to always fail to install from the image if installed at the same time as non network license stuff.
You have to uninstall/reinstall if you forget something. The only con is that you can't modify an installation after the fact. The admin image installs a variety of different combinations on various machines.
We have 18 standalone licenses, 2 network licenses for Simulation Pro, Flow Simulation and SW Electrical along with a 25 seat PDM license. The biggest pros are that I can ensure everyone is set up with just the stuff they need and once I have set that up, I can use the previous image settings for the next version. I've been using them exclusively for many years. If the client computer is powered off or if the user is logged on at the scheduled installation time, the scheduler will attempt to install the software the next time the system starts up. You will see a ‘One time’ trigger for the date and time of the scheduled installation. In the list of tasks, > click on ‘Install SOLIDWORKS 20XX’.ģ. Go to ‘Control Panel’ > ‘Administrative Tools’ > ‘Task Scheduler’ > ‘Task Scheduler Library’.Ģ. Question: After pushing out an automatic deployment administrative image to a client computer, how do I view or edit the installation date?Īnswer: To view the scheduled date of installation for an automatic deployment, follow these steps:ġ. If the user doesn't have access to write to the \logs\status.xml, the install might end up in a loop since the "success" value cannot be written to the administrative image. At minimum, grant read/write access to the following directories as necessary: Question: What can cause the SolidWorks Installation Manager based administrative image "Deploy Automatically" to display "Scheduled" even after the install succeeded?Īnswer: This can occur if read/write permissions are not granted to users installing from the administrative image.
