Deploy with Active Directory (offline)

Deploying via Active Directory and Group policies has limited supported at this time because:

• The setup only supports computer-based software installation

• Some properties can only be configured from the command line

You can use configuration tools such as Orca to:

• Configure properties from the property table

• Save the settings to a transform file (MST)

• Deploy it with the updated values

The following properties can be modified in the Property Table:

Property	Description/Defualt setting
INTERNETACCESS=1/0	Allow Internet access • Default = 1
LIBRARIESPATH=<defaultpath>	User can override default path.
LIBRARIESPATHSUFFIX=<defaultpath>	User can override default path.
LIBRARIESPERUSERPATH=0/1	Deploy libraries per user • Default = 0
LIBRARIESEXTRACT=1/0	Extracts libraries at first launch • Default = 1
USERDATAPATH=<defaultpath>	User can override default path.
USERDATAPATHSUFFIX=<defaultpath>	User can override default path.
USERDATAPERUSERPATH=0/1	User Data deployed per user • Default = 1
MACROUI=1/0	Enable Macros in UI • Default = 1
ONLINEHELP=1/0	Enable online Help • Default = 1
REBOOTISREQUIRED=No/Yes	Require reboot after installation • Default = No
TOPICALERTSLINKER=1/0	Enable topic alerts linker • Default = 1
UICUSTOMIZATION=1/0 (default=1)	Enable UI customization • Default = 1
SHORTCUTDESKTOP=1/0	Create Desktop shortcut • Default = 1
SHORTCUTSTARTMENU=1/0	Create StartMenu shortcut • Default = 1

Recommendations:

• Save these settings to the transform file as a backup, rather than directly to the MSI.

• Deploy on a per-machine basis only, avoiding the possibility that the machines with multiple users get multiple copies of the application installed.

• Create a policy for Always install elevated, otherwise the installation may fail.
