Here is a script to make the installation of Desktop Manager silently on every users workstation for any Notes version.
This InstallScript allow you to :
- Deploy a DskMgrStart.nsf database that contains all the configuration documents (Reference, Setup, Profiles, Templates, etc)
- Run a first Desktop Manager execution in a full mode locally.
Requirement 1 : DskMgrStart.nsf must be generated from Desktop Manager: Install files view: "Build DskMgrStart DB" button > See attached file Build-DskMgr-Start-Db.png
Requirement 2 : Select a temp path to deploy DskMgrStart.nsf, DskMgr.exe, nDskMgrHook.dll & InstallScript.txt to every users workstation
Requirement 3 : Update the 3 mandatory variables called 'desktop_manager_database$', 'desktop_manager_server$' and 'install_folder_path$' in the InstallScript.txt > See attached file
Requirement 4 : Deploy DskMgrStart.nsf, DskMgr.exe, nDskMgrHook.dll and the installscript.txt into a temp "Install Folder" on users' PC using your favorite deployment tool, ie: LanDesk, SCCM, PowerShell, etc
Required Action : launch the following command from the user's workstation to deploy Desktop Manager: DskMgr.exe -SCRIPTNW <InstallScript_Path.txt>
