Other Things You Can Do To Control the Distribution and Launching of Applications

To better manage the application you've distributed, you can configure the Application object to:

• Automatically cache the application's installation files to the local workstation. This enables users to install or fix problems with the application when they are disconnected from NDS and your network. See Running in Disconnected Mode .
• Add the Application object to a folder in the Application Launcher/Explorer window or on the Windows Start menu. See Organizing Applications into Folders .
• Report on the success or failure of events such as distributing, caching, and uninstalling the application on workstations. See Reporting on Application Management Events .
• Track the number of licenses being used for the application. See Metering Software Licenses .
• Determine the schedule of when the application will be available to users. See Schedule Page .
• Set up backup copies of the application source files to enable fault tolerance. See Fault Tolerance Page .
• Define multiple Application objects for the same application and enable load balancing. See Load Balancing Page .
• Set up site lists to enable users who travel from site to site to continue to have access to their applications. See Site List Page .
• Define many additional Application object properties to control the behavior of the application. For information about all Application object properties, see Application Object Settings .
