Microsoft NAV 2009 Auto deployment to Client
Freddy Kristiansen, PM Architect on the Microsoft Dynamics NAV team, just posted an awesome article about a very handy tool you can D/L right now called ComponentHelper.
Scenario:
When you install the RoleTailored Client on a number of clients, you might need to install a number of Client side components as well. This might not sound as too much of a problem when you need to install the client anyway – but lets say you install an ISV Add-on with a live customer, who already have 100 clients install – and now you need to install the objects to the database – AND you need to run to 100 computers and install Client side components.
Yes, you can do this with system management policies, but not all customers are running SMS and it would just be way easier if everything could be handled from the ISV Add-On and the Client Components could be auto deployed.
When doing this – it is still important, that IF the customer is running SMS and decide to deploy the Client Side components through system policies – then the auto deployment should just pick this up and accept that things are Ok.
