Set Up a Source Directory Using the Deployment
Wizard
When you use SCCM to deploy Autodesk software, you set up the source
directory using the Deployment wizard.
The Deployment wizard creates an administrative image that is used by SCCM
to distribute the Autodesk software to the target systems. The location where
you perform the administrative installation becomes the location of the
package source directory.
To learn more about deployments and setting up the source directory for
Autodesk software, see the following topics in the
Network Administrator
