Step

Description

Step 1

Create a shared folder, and then set permissions so that client computers that will run the installation have access to the shared folder.

Step 2

Copy the following directories from the media server to the shared folder:

  • RAWS32 or RAWSX64

  • MSXML

By default, these folders are located in \Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec\Agents.

Step 3

Copy the transform from the path where it was created to the RAWS32 or RAWSX64 directory on the shared folder.

Step 4

Configure a Group Policy Object to deploy the source files.

See Configuring a Group Policy Object.
