The Desktop DNA management console is a Windows workstation typically used by the OS deployment and migration administrators. You should also install ConsoleOne® on the workstation to allow management and creation of ZfD Application objects.
In order to create a Desktop DNA template that contains the application settings for all of the applications used in your organization, you must set up a staging workstation that has each corporate and line-of-business application locally installed. It does not matter which versions of each application you install. You will use this workstation to create a Desktop DNA template that defines the personality and application settings that will be subsequently collected from individual workstations in your organization.
As you set up the staging workstation, be aware of software licensing issues.
