Prerequisites for Deploying Automatically

With automatic deployment, installation tasks are pushed to target machines and carried out by the Microsoft Task Scheduler on each system, without requiring any actions by users. Use this method when users do not have administrative privileges to install software on their systems.

With a push installation, the Task Scheduler launches SolidWorks Installation Manager to run under credentials specified by you, the administrator. The Task Scheduler runs under the computer's LocalSystem account. This account is represented on the network as a computer security principle. The computer security principle must have read access to the shared folder where the administrative image is located.

In Active Directory, when you add a computer to a group of a shared folder, select Object Types and make sure that Computers is selected.

In addition, the computer serving the administrative image and the target client machines must be members of the same Active Directory domain.
