MANAGING
SOFTWARE
APPLICATIONS

Exercise 15 : Managing Software Applications

In this exercise you will deploy software to a Windows 2008 client computer. You will deploy
WinZip, a file compression program that does not have an associated MSI file. This means you
will need to create a ZAP file in order to publish the application.
In the second part of this exercise you will publish this software to members of the Sklr OU, and
then test the deployment of the software.

EXERCISE 15.1
Establish a Software Distribution Point
To support this exercise, you will need a shared folder on the network that contains the software
applications that will be deployed.

1. Log on to the server as Administrator (Figure 0502).

Figure 0502 : Administrator Login

2. Launch Windows Explorer. Click Start ► Right-click Computer ► select Explore
(Figure 0503).
