Automation of Enterprise guide update

againreddy — Thu, 30 Nov 2017 20:08:58 GMT

Hi All,

We have several users with Eguide installation. How do we install/ hotfixes automatically on their computers. Some users do not have admin rights. How do we do the mass update with admin id.

Thanks

Naga

If you do not yet have a software deployment tool implemented, then it's time to contemplate it. Otherwise someone will have to go from PC to PC to do the installation.

Hello there,

just as an addition, I would like to drop a couple of ideas/topics to revisit. Besides the 2 options commented by Kurt:

Automating a SAS® 9.4 Installation without Using Provisioning Software http://support.sas.com/techsup/technote/sas1887-2015.pdf
Use virtualization software: Microsoft AppV, ThinApp, Citrix, they all help on quick deployment of software to clients.
Quiet installations with response files with the SAS Deployment Wizard ( http://support.sas.com/documentation/installcenter/en/ikdeploywizug/66034/PDF/default/user.pdf )
