B A S I C I N S T A L L A T I O N 6 | C H A P T E R 2 – I N S T A L L I N G S M A R T S Y N C
Locating Installation Packages
There are two installation packages (also known as MSI files) for SMART Sync:
File Name Components Installation
Package
SMART Sync
Teacher
SMART Sync

See Windows Installer Properties, Parameters and Examples on page 43 for a complete
list of these properties as well as available parameters and example commands.
Using Third-Party Imaging or Remote
Management Software
You can install SMART Sync on multiple computers using third-party imaging or remote management software. This option is best for large installations involving many computers.
B A S I C I N S T A L L A T I O N 1 1 | C H A P T E R 2 – I N S T A L L I N G S M A R T S Y N C
Use MST files to customize installation packages. You can create these files using
SMART Install Manager (see page 53) or third-party software.
The following procedure shows how to deploy SMART Sync using Windows operating systems’ Group Policy-based deployment software. For information on deploying
SMART Sync using your organization’s third-party imaging or remote management software, see the software’s documentation.
