Total Software Deployment is a software deployment program for Windows OS developed by Softinventive Lab, a software development company headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Technical overview
Total Software Deployment works with 2 independent databases: one for software and one for Windows-operated computers present in the user's network. The program can scan the network for Windows computers to fill the network database. Three software deployment methods are available: Silent, Macro and SysShot. Deployment is performed to computers stored in the network database via the SMB protocol.
Silent
This basic method allows to deploy software installers that support unattended installation. As soon as each application is added, TSD detects installer type, automatically populates the command line with the default silent installation parameters for this type and below lists the additional parameters that can be added to the line.[1] The following installer types are recognized: 7-Zip SFX, Adobe Installer, Astrum Installer, Box Stub, Excelsior Installer, Ghost Installer, Inno Setup, InstallShield, Java Installer, MS Office (Click-to-Run), Windows Installer (MSI or MSI in EXE), NSIS Setup, SFX Cab, Smart Installer Maker, Windows installer XML, WinRAR Installer, WinZip Installer, Wise Installer. This method also provides functionality for deployment of Batch files and PowerShell scripts.
Macro
The program to be deployed remotely must be first installed locally; user actions are recorded during the installation and saved into the deployment package and repeated on remote computers during deployment.
SysShot
When this method is used, the system state is captured before and after local installation. The two shots are then compared, and the differences are packaged for remote deployment.
