Deployment Utility
The Deployment Utility allows you to use different Configuration (.ini) files to create different types of Client installation (.sds) files. It may be convenient to have a configuration for each department or each user role in your organization. For example, you can build one Client Install file with all recording enabled ("All.ini"), another with only Internet recording enabled ("JustWeb.ini"), and a third with Internet Blocking set ("BlockSites.ini"). Use .ini configuration files to retain complicated Internet Blocking or Keyword Alert specifications for different computers in your organization.

Any configuration file will be modified if you change settings while progressing through the Deployment Utility wizard. The install file you build using the wizard takes the name of the .ini file: mysettings.ini creates spsetup_mysettings.sds. |
To create a new configuration file:
Run the Deployment Utility. Select Manage Computers, open the Action menu and select Deployment Utility.
At the Configuration Wizard Start panel,
Browse to a new folder location
if you wish, and enter a new name for the configuration file. This will
create a new .ini file that will retain the specific settings you choose.
The default configuration file provided is Settings.ini.
If you have previously created an .ini file with specific settings,
use the Browse button to navigate
to the location where the file is stored and select it. You can maintain
a "library" of configurations to use on different computers.
Continue through the Deployment utility
and build the Client Install file. At the end of the utility, a message
confirms the name and location of the Client Install (.sds) file.
The new configuration name applies to the .sds Client Install file.
For example, the Client Install file created from the BlockSites.ini configuration
above will be named spsetup_BlockSites.sds.
