I do all our installations with Smedge.  If a 100 machine farm had
smedge installed, I reckon I could install XSI on all of them from a
server install in about 20 mins using batch files and the 'Generic
Script' job type in Smedge.

Hello everyone,

I'm just shooting out in the air here to see what other people do (who
mainly are windows based).
I haven't (to be honest ) tested the server install with XSI yet.
Mainly because I think it would use a lot of bandwidth when everyone
is also launching their application from a server install, or am I
wrong here? Before I've always been working with companys that had a
sysadmin or a TD that would know these things... well... moving back
to a small country this is no longer the case :)
So I was wondering what peoples thoughts are? At the moment I'm doing
a local install on 3 machines and 10 renderslaves, which can take some
time. My guess is that server install would make this easier, but is
there anything special to think about? will I have the same problem as
having workgroups on a server instead of localy?
