BDD2007 Application Install Order
Our company has just setup its first deployment server, running the Deployment Work Bench.
Everything works as it should but we would like to be able to change the order of installation for the Packaged Applications.
As we see it, the order is set when you 'add' a new application to the task lists. This is the order that is presented when you boot from WinPE and run the wizard.
The issue is that certain applications need to install after others ie Acrobat Pro after Office etc.
Whilst we could create install bundles, there are so many permutations (Acrobat Pro vrs Standard, Office Pro / Standard, Project, Visio etc) that it defeats the purpose of an easy deployment!
Any ideas would be great - is there someway of tagging applications with a 'priority' id so that items with higher 'priority' get installed first?
And no we don't have SMS running currently, as we are purely looking at the inital image deployment at present, after moving away from another technology.
Any comments would be apprecated.
Thanks.
