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.
A push installation is not compatible with the administrative
installation option Run as a different user.
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.
