Although this section of Getting Started focuses on the Typical Install in order to acquaint you with the features of the ZfD product, there are actually three install types you can choose from when installing ZfD:

The ZfD Typical Install is designed to install all ZfD components at one time on the servers you select. It extends the schema of the NDS tree, copies the appropriate files to the server or servers, and creates the new Application objects in the server's container.

For administrators who know that they want to use all of the components, this can save time. In a test environment, for example, the need to evaluate the entire ZfD product may indicate choosing this type. The components that are installed in a Typical Install include:

• Application Management
• Automatic Workstation Import
• Workstation Management
• Workstation Imaging
• Remote Management
• Workstation Inventory
• Sybase Database (optional)

The ZfD Product Install is designed to install selected groups of ZfD components on the servers you select. For each product group that you choose to install, you can specify which part or parts (file copy, schema extension, or Application object creation) to install with it.

For administrators who know that they want to select a specific group or groups of components, this can save time. In a test environment, for example, the need to evaluate only the components relevant to your business may indicate choosing this type. The following groups can be individually selected when you choose the Product Install:

• Workstation Management (which includes the Automatic Workstation Import, Workstation Inventory, and Workstation Manager components)
• Application Management
• Workstation Imaging
• Remote Management

The ZfD Custom Install is designed to let you install any of the ZfD components individually (or in a grouping of your choice) on the servers you select. For each component that you choose to install, you can specify which part or parts (file copy, schema extension, or Application object creation) to install with it.

For administrators who know that they want to use only certain components, this can save time and server space. In a test environment, for example, the need to evaluate only the ZfD component or components you are interested in may indicate choosing this type. The following components can be individually selected when you choose the Custom Install:

• Application Management
• Automatic Workstation Import
• Workstation Management
• Workstation Imaging
• Remote Management
• Workstation Inventory
• Sybase Database
