TNI 6.1: New Interface and Features for Data Transfer Mode
Based on the feedback you provided to the support team, we have done a major redesign of the mechanics and interface of the Data Transfer window.
Overview
Remote and Automated Software Deployment
Comprehensive Software Deployment: Managed software deployment for corporate networks.
Remote and Automated Software Deployment
Total Software Deployment lets you deploy software on any number of computers with ease. Software inventory management, automatic network scanning, and concurrent deployment of multiple types of installation packages make TSD the clear winner among remote deployment tools.
One-Click Concurrent Deployment
Unlike its competitors, this tool supports advanced concurrent deployment, allowing you to install multiple packages on multiple computers at the same time. At any time you can specify how many computers you can install and how many packages you can install on each computer. Once you've made up your mind, deployment is just one click away.
Remote Software Uninstall
You can also remotely uninstall software from one or more computers. The remote uninstall tool supports packages deployed using Total Software Deployment or installed in any other way, allowing network administrators to control which software is required on the network and which must be uninstalled.
Integrated Software Management
Comprehensive software deployment enables organization-wide visibility of computers across the network, maintaining a complete list of software installed on all computers on the corporate network.
Auto Scan
TSD automatically scans your network computers to build an inventory list. Scan computers and servers on your corporate network without permanently installing agents; all you need is the administrator password. Scanned data is automatically categorized and organized to build a comprehensive inventory of software installed on the LAN.
Flexible MSI and EXE Application Deployment
Ever wish you had a system more flexible than Microsoft® Deployment Tools? Being limited to deploying MSI packages isn't fun. Comprehensive Software Deployment supports all types of installers, including MSI and all popular third-party installers, enabling fully automated, silent deployment of almost any software package.
Three Ways to Deploy
Not all packages are created equal. Some have pre-configured options for silent setup, while others may not support automatic deployment at all. TSD offers up to three different ways to create automated deployment packages for your network, enabling you to remotely deploy software products that shouldn't otherwise be deployed.
Use the assistant to quickly identify computers with obsolete products, you can maintain deployment history, and more!
Software Deployment Made Easy
Network software distribution and maintenance made easy. Automate routines by having Total Software Deployment scan your network, build a list of software installed on your computer, and perform automated deployment tasks remotely from a centralized location.
What software is on your Windows PC?
Know what software is installed on your network computers without leaving your chair! Just make sure your computer is using a modern version of Windows (XP or later) and be prepared to manage passwords.
Truly Smart Scanner
Simply specify what you want to scan, and full software deployment starts working in no time. With automatic network discovery, it automatically locates all valid nodes within a specified IP range, identifies computers in workgroups, and displays domain structures. You can simply scan with default settings and administrative passwords, or specify logins and passwords for individual devices or groups. Ready, ready, go!
With today's wide bandwidth and powerful processors, there is no need to wait for one task to complete before another can start. TSD takes a truly concurrent multi-threaded approach to network scanning, running as many tasks in parallel as the network allows. So even if you have a fairly large network, the scan can be done in minutes.
Managed Updates and Maintenance
"What version of Software X is my computer using? How do I update it?"
This is the question we're asked most often, and that's what we built our TSD to handle. Managed software updates couldn't be easier! Full Software Deployment will scan your network computers and build a comprehensive report detailing the software installed on each computer. Updating outdated versions is as easy as selecting them in the list and clicking Update.
Centralized Software Storage
The software storage in Total Software Deployment supports both single-file and complex installers. The store is highly configurable, allowing you to edit basic properties such as version number, language, or supported OS architectures, and enabling generic and per-product deployment policies specifying which add-ons, updates, or patches should be deployed alongside the main application .
Everything you need is right in front of you
View everything you need and nothing more! TSD provides flexible configuration options to display information about network nodes. You can see if a computer is online, view its network name and IP address, check which version of Windows it's running, and choose how much information you want displayed.
Total Software Deployment provides convenient search and filtering capabilities to help you quickly find installed applications, target deployments, and assign tasks and priorities.
Build One-Click Deployment Packages
Create silent deployment packages in just a few clicks! TSD will automatically determine the type of installer and use the correct command line strings to remotely deploy the application without user interaction. This method is ideal for automatic deployment of MS Office® software in a local network.
Custom deployments not a problem
Do you have installers that require user input anyway? In fact, a large number of products do not natively support automated deployment. Not a problem if you use Total Software Deployment! Just build a macro for such an installer that pre-records all the clicks and skips all the hoops. And any unwanted actions can be easily disabled without re-recording the entire scene.
Snapshot Deployment
If nothing else helps, we can make system snapshots to deploy some very difficult software packages. System snapshots are the ultimate tool to help deploy products that absolutely do not succumb to any standard deployment method.
Snapshot deployment works by tracking changes made to files and Windows Registry settings during app installation. These changes are recorded, refined and incorporated into custom packages that can be deployed remotely on other computers. This is the lowest level deployment method available. Please use with care!
Deployment Job List
Create a list of packages to deploy and set deployment targets once, then deploy to multiple computers with one click. Unlike built-in tools, Full Software Deployment doesn't limit you to MSI packages. Instead, the tool allows you to deploy packages built with various installer types, including those with limited or no support for remote installation.
Non-Intrusive Deployment
Just start deploying, sit back and watch the process. TSD monitors every step, allowing you to easily identify any deployment issues.
With our software deployment tools, your remote software installations don't interrupt end users with windows or dialogs or interrupt their workflow.
Remotely Uninstall Software
Remote Uninstall tools can successfully uninstall software based on the list of packages found, allowing network administrators to control what should and should not be installed on the network. The quick search function can quickly find packages in the list. Once an unwanted package is identified, it can be uninstalled with just a few clicks.
Remote MSI Uninstall
The new MSI Uninstall module allows network administrators to uninstall MSI packages over the network. Uninstallation is fully automated with no need to build complex scripts or enter command line arguments. Automatically discover and uninstall problematic MSIs from one or more computers on your network with just a few clicks. Importantly, Total Software Deployment does not require access to the original MSI package in order to uninstall it. The list of supported installer types will be expanded in future updates.
Group Deployment and Uninstallation
Full Software Deployment scans the entire LAN to discover software installed on end-user computers and obtain comprehensive information about that software. Comprehensive software deployment supports group deployment, maintenance and uninstallation of software packages on multiple network computers. After a successful deployment or remote software uninstall, the tool can automatically rescan the computer to maintain an up-to-date list of installed packages.
