What is ADMLink ESD?

ADMLink ESD

ADMLink ESD is all about making life easier for System Administrators when it comes to installing software. Instead of having to deal with physical media and going from computer to computer, ADMLink ESD lets you do everything electronically. This means you can install software on multiple computers without leaving your desk!

What is Electronic Software Distribution (ESD)?

So, Electronic Software Distribution (ESD) is a fancy term for how system admins can install software products across an organization without needing physical disks. It's mostly done in unattended mode, which is super convenient!

Key Features of ADMLink ESD

Here are some key features:

• Defining Product Catalog: You can set up a multi-level hierarchy for products, versions, and configurations.


• Hardware and Software Dependencies: Specify what hardware or OS is needed for your installs.


• Separation of Definitions: Keep product definitions separate from installation packages.


• Scripting Support: Use before and after scripts with an extensive scripting language to customize your setups.


• Diverse Installation Support: Works with MSI-based installs, setup-based installs, and script-based installs.

Simplifying Computer Group Management

You can easily group computers together. For example, if you want to target all the computers in the Sales Department, that's a breeze! You can even have nested groups like "Sales Support" within "Sales Department." And yes, one computer can belong to different groups!

Scheduling Jobs Made Easy

You don't have to start installations right away; you can schedule them for a specific time! Choose one or more products to install on your selected groups of computers. Plus, you'll get progress updates and logs from each machine so you know how things are going.

The ESD Server-Agent Setup

This feature allows different ways to connect the ESD Agent to the server's repository—think TCP/IP, HTTP, or FTP. It even supports multiple repository locations!

Inventory Integration Feature

If you're using ADMLink Network Inventory (NI), you'll be able to integrate this easily into your setup.

Caution: Limitations Ahead!

The only downside? There's a 15-day trial period where you can test out all these cool features!
