What is ADMLink ESD?

ADMLink ESD

ADMLink ESD is a cool tool that helps System Administrators install software across their organization without all the hassle of physical media. Instead of running around with discs, you can do everything electronically and mostly unattended. How great is that?

What is Electronic Software Distribution (ESD)?

So, ESD basically lets you load software onto multiple computers at once. It's way easier than dealing with CDs or USB drives! With ADMLink ESD, you can take products provided by the software vendor, set up standard configurations, and schedule installations on groups of computers simultaneously.

Using Inventory Information

You can also use inventory info gathered by ADMLink Network Inventory (NI). This helps define software and hardware dependencies or pinpoint which computers need the installs.

Key Features of ADMLink ESD

Here are some key features:

• Defining Product Catalog: Create a multi-level hierarchy for products and versions.


• Hardware and Software Dependencies: Specify requirements like the target OS.


• Product Definition Separation: Keep product definitions separate from installation packages.


• Scripting Support: Use extensive scripting to customize installs.


• MSS Installation Support: It works with MSI, setup-based, and script-based installs!

Working with Computer Groups

You can group computers easily—like for your Sales Department or create nested groups! And get this: the same computer can even belong to different groups if needed!

Simplified Job Execution

You can execute jobs immediately or schedule them for later. Choose one product or many to install on specific computer groups or based on queries! Plus, you'll see progress status and logs from each computer too!

The Server-Agent Infrastructure

This feature connects the ESD Agent to the server using methods like TCP/IP, HTTP, or FTP. You also have multiple repository locations to keep things tidy!

Inventory Integration

The integration with ADMLink Network Inventory makes everything run smoothly together!

Limitations

The only downside? You get a 15-day trial period.
