What Applications Can Be Included In A Windows Or Linux Image?
Article: 63
Applies to: All releases
Not all applications are suitable for replication from one server to another
using the image capture and deployment installs. Several possible causes are
| • |
The application stores computer specific information in the registry
such as the computer name itself. Programs, such as Microsoft SQL
Server and Exchange Server, do this.
|
| • |
The application creates and uses a local user account which becomes
corrupted when replicated. Microsoft IIS is an example program for this.
|
| • |
The application creates files that cannot be redeployed. For example,
under Linux, Oracle creates various files that rdeploy cannot successfully
deploy.
|
To resolve this issue, use imaging to replicate the
base operating system and then scripting to install the applications.
