Support MSI package to deploy 70 user via GPO_ Teacher at Home

[LuckyStone]

Dear Support Team,
We are having Site licence of Autograph 3.2, and currently we are using Network version (included msi package for network) for all teacher. That mean it is easy to deploy the package (by GPO) to all computer and easy to register each time they run the app.
Now our school using the laptop for teachers and they need the Autograph can work offline (at home), however it require to reinstall another version for offline, and I've tried to make MSI by WinInstall_LE, but it not work. I dont want to go around to install by manual for 70 laptops, that is boring.
Can you give me some advise
Thank you,

Hi,

I'm a little confused, are you using 3.2 or 3.3, you say 3.2 but your issue sounds 3.3 related to me. If you areb using 3.3 then you will need to obtain a Single Computer at Institution (Not on Network) Serial Number from your dealer and use this with the appropriate option in the 3.3.10 installer. (Please follow the updated network instautions available from http://www.autograph-maths.com/downloads...s/network)


I hope this helps

Hi,

Yes, we are using Autograph 3.3 now with site licence and extended site licence, that included Teacher ID and Student ID for using at home.
Can you please give me some advice for deploying (via GPO or startup script) of the 'Teacher at home' version? I also google and findout some guild (http://www.pdfcari.com/Autograph-3.3-Tea...tion.html) but it not success.
We are using Windows 2003/2008 domain server and Windows7/Windows XP sp3 client
Thank you,

Hi, the answer here is to use the network package and to then create a startup script using the standard MSI command line options. e.g.

msiexec /i "D:\Autograph 3.msi"

there is however no way to automatically activate Autograph during this process. This has to be done from within Autograph itself with the Teacher/Student IDs
