Installers

This page describes installers from the server's point of view.

See

• Update Service Installers (client) for what an installer is.
• How to: Create an Installer

Server Connection

Installers have the server's connection information embedded, when an installer is executed, it knows which server to connect to. Given that the target machine has network access to the server machine.

You can specify the server's connection information in the server's settings. Doing so will require an installer re-download to include the new data.

Update Strategy

You can specify what update strategy an installer should apply when installing packages. You can do so, either with Set-UssInstallerPackage or through the server management interface. Available update strategies are:

• Manual: User must manually check for updates through the Update Service app or with Install-UscPackage.
• Automatic: The client service checks periodically for updates and installs them when available.
