Update Configurator can install and maintain Windows 9x workstations on a network. It
is aimed at schools, institutions and companies with
groups of identical workstations that have a lot of different users that
can not allways be trusted to leave the workstation as they found it.
Update Configurator will:
- Ease the installation of new workstations
- With Update Configurator you only have
to install Windows 9x to a single workstation. Then you can use
Update Configurator to create an archive on your server and copy the
contents of the workstation to the archive. With the
special Update Configurator Boot Diskette you
can now set up new workstations with customized name,
description and IP address.
- Maintain configured workstations
- Update Configurator will configure your workstations
to make their harddisk(s) match a specific archive on each
boot. This will delete new files and copy changed/deleted
files down from the archive. -Your users will allways find
the workstations the same after a boot.
- Ease the installation of new programs
- Install the new program to a
single workstation and copy it to the archive with Update Configurator.
You can now change the archive version of any workstation
using the archive to have the program copied to their
harddisk on the next boot (new registry settings will not be
present until the second boot).
- Enable quick error recovery
- If the system on one of your
configured workstations
has been ruined to the point were it can not run UPDATE (the
program to make the harddisk match an archive), just boot it
from the Update Configurator Boot Diskette and it will automatically
recover.
- Allow experiments with configurations
- Update Configurator keeps a complete
history of changes to an archive. This makes it safe to
experiment with new settings/installation of new programs.
Just make your experiments and save the results to the archive
- until you explicitly change the archive version used by
the workstations this will have no effect but to allow you
to pick up were you left some other day.
