You can run a mock installation that exercises the systems used for the
deployment, such as:
- Connecting to the target computer.
- Creating an install task on that computer.
- Completing the install task on that computer.
- Updating the status and logs on the administrative image.
- Detecting a program to run before or after the installation.
The test
verifies
file paths, validates permissions, and reports that the installation ended
successfully. It does not install any software or modify the registry on the target
system. If any one of the systems fails on any of the target computers, the test
indicates which system failed.
Tooltips provide more information about failures. You can export the results
to an
.xml spreadsheet (or .csv), which is helpful for reviewing multiple failures or sharing
results with other support personnel.
