Blam Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Does anyone here have experience with installing AutoCAD company wide without the need for a tech or user to load it? I'm trying to find a better solution to upgrade a lot of users to 2011. Luckily, most of our licenses are network and I have created deployments for all of our products. We have LANDesk that we use to silently distribute other software. Could we use this to install AutoCAD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Roy Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 A little VB exe that looks for the 2011 directory on the machine. If the directory exists, stop. If not, run the server-based deployment. Leave the VB exe in the network log-in startup for a week, then remove and everyone should be fine. Works for me most of the time. Always have a few stragglers.

Blam Posted April 29, 2011 Author Share Posted April 29, 2011 Cool thanks guys. The VB script that you use fried, is it similar to the type described in the Network Installation Guide from Autodesk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
