Installing Deskman on multiple systems is a simple task. Check some deployment tips below.

Export Data

Configuration data, with your active restrictions, and profiles, can be imported/exported using the File menu, which also serves as a backup option.

Installation Commands

The setup program accepts optional command line parameters. These can be useful to system administrators, and to other programs calling the setup program:

• /SILENT, /VERYSILENT: Instructs Setup to be silent or very silent. When Setup is silent the wizard and the background window are not displayed but the installation progress window is. When a setup is very silent this installation progress window is not displayed.
  
• /DIR="x:\dirname": Overrides the default directory name displayed on the Select Destination Location wizard page. A fully qualified pathname must be specified.
  
• /NOICONS: Instructs Setup to initially check the Don't create a Start Menu folder check box on the Select Start Menu Folder wizard page.

Deskman Data Path

Deskman stores application data in %ALLUSERSPROFILE%.

• DESKMAN.EXE /PATH "x:\dirname" : Forces a different path for your data. A fully qualified, and accessible, pathname must be specified.

Running Deskman Remotely

To access Deskman remotely from your web browser, activate the Web Interface.

Using Remote Desktop

If you plan to access Deskman by using Remote Desktop, Deskman must be running in application mode.
By default, Deskman runs in service mode on Windows XP. In order to force Deskman to run in application mode you need to:

• Stop the Deskman service
• Set the service to start manually
• Run "deskman.exe" from your Deskman directory.
• Add an Autorun entry to make sure Deskman is executed automatically at startup.
