The Administrative Image Option Editor lets you specify different installation configurations for groups of machines and for individual machines.
For example, you might want to configure several machines to use a particular subset of the product components available in the image while another group might use a different subset of product components. Even though you are using one administrative image, the Option Editor group settings enable you to install different product subsets to different groups of machines.
To add a group:
|
- Right-click Global Settings and then click Add Group.
- Enter the group name.

To add machines:
|
-
Right-click an existing group or Global Settings and then click Add Machine.
If you right-click an existing group, machines are added to that group. Otherwise, they are added at the top level.
- Do one of the following:
- Enter one or more machine names under Machine Name.
Multiple machines can be separated by a line break, space, tab, comma, period, colon, or semi-colon. You can copy and paste a list of machine names from an external file.
Machine names cannot include domain qualifiers. For example, pluto.solidworks.com is invalid.
- Click Add Multiple Machines to select machines from the network.
