Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) allows you to manage software distribution to selected target systems through a remote process. For more information about this topic, go to Microsoft TechNet and search for "System Center Configuration Manager".
Each deployment includes a folder <deployment name>\SMS_SCCM scripts, which contains two documents to help you with SCCM deployments: SMS_SCCM_ReadMe.docx and <deployment name>_SCCM.txt.
Note: Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 must be installed on each target computer before using SCCM to distribute Autodesk products.
To deploy Autodesk products with SCCM
- Identify or create a collection of target computers to receive the software package.
- Create a source directory using the Create Deployment procedure in the installer. See Set Up a Source Directory for SCCM.
- Create an SCCM package to deploy to your target systems, and notify users that the software package is available. See Create the SCCM Software Installation Package.
Note: Distribution of DirectX 9.0C to Windows XP by SCCM is not supported. For an Autodesk product to run properly, you must manually install DirectX 9.0C from the product media (<media>\3rdParty\DirectX\DXSETUP.exe). This version of DirectX 9.0C is customized for use with Autodesk products.
