Desktop Apps Silent/Batch Installation

 

  • Among all IT policies, a common practice is related to software deployment control on employee’s computers. 

  • Users usually do not have sufficient privileges to install the software by themselves and applications deployment is remotely controlled by the IT staff.

  • This wiki page describes a method for installing multiple 3DEXPERIENCE desktop apps in a domain, and can be used on any level of the desktop apps.
     

Target audience: This wiki page is designed to help the IT staff to deploy 3DEXPERIENCE on the Cloud Desktop Apps silently.

Here is the link where you can download the document which explains how to install Desktop Apps in Silent/Batch mode.
