We've created a Wise Packaging White Paper to help packagers follow a streamlined method of packaging with Wise Package Studio. This has helped our process to remain uniform as well as document how the package was created.

Software Distribution Request

networkchic — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 15:04:30 -0600

We've developed a form to be used for all software distribution requests. This is where the process begins after something is packaged and needs to be distributed. This has helped our change control process and streamlined all the information we need to deploy a successful upgrade.

Linux for Imaging: Not Using the eXpress Share to Host the Image

taszerl — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 10:00:43 -0600

When imaging using Linux there are times when you want to deploy an image from another location other than the eXpress share, doing this can get pretty messy or downright impossible. The main issue is that you cannot just simply go to the Distribute Disk Image task and just browse for the image that you want to deploy if it is not on the eXpress share.

Off-Line Windows Updates With CTUpdate

taszerl — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 17:44:33 -0500

Currently in our environment we have 2 ways of imaging:

1. On the local network

2. On a private network

The issue that we ran into was that we wanted to update the machine with the latest Windows updates on either network.
