How can I deploy my AAMEE without Apple Remote Desktop?

Hi everyone,

 

I created a build for Adobe CS6 Production Premium for Mac with the serial number embedded, along with the current updates. All is well with that; however, this is the issue that I am having:

 

I have tried to test the build on a local machine (the computer I created the build on) and was able to install the package with no issues; however, when I try to deploy build onto a networked machine, it doesn't work.

 

I have read through the AAMEE Reference Guide and have read (if I am not mistaken) that for CS6, you can only deploy an AAMEE build through Apple Remote Desktop onto multiple machines. I have also read that you would need Apple Remote Desktop on all of the machines you want the build to deploy on.

 

If that is case, if I have read the guide correctly, what is the point of deploying the build through a network if you have to still install ARD onto all the machines you want the software one? How can you get around this to be able to deploy your AAMEE successfully onto a network on machines?

 

When I tried it last night on one network Mac with ARD, I received the error message for "Validating packages...". I'm not sure what that means because the build works perfectly on local machine.

 

Any ideas would help as far as deploying the build on a network without using ARD, or really, just a simpler alternative that works?

 

PLEASE HELP.

 

Thanks.

    Hi,

    You can deploy package using any of these tools - ARD, SSH, Casper suite, Absolute manage, Land desk..and may be more but we have only tried these.

    We have mentioned ARD as an example, but other standard tools can be very well used for deploying package. and there is no need to have ARD installed on all machines where you want to deploy the package, but only on admin machine.

     

    can you please let me know - which client OS are you trying to deploy the package and whether the client machine is logged or logged in? please forward install.log if you are facing the error.

     

    thanks,
