Problem
In some situations it may be desirable to initiate a Provisioning task client side, without booting into WinPE.
Example: Launching a deploy profile Provisioning template.
Steps
- Create a directory on the client to contain the ldprovision.exe
- C:\ldprovision
- Download/copy ldprovision.exe to the client machine.
- Example location on Core: "C:\Program Files\LANDesk\ManagementSuite\ldlogon\provisioning\windows\ldProvision.exe"
- Example destination on client: C:\ldprovision\ldProvision.exe
- Launch ldProvision.exe as the Local System Account
- ldProvision.exe will begin downloading prerequisites
- When ldProvision.exe is ran as the Local System Account, it will present the Provisioning GUI which allows users to authenticate to the Core, and select templates.
Note: If ldProvision.exe is ran as any account other than Local System, it will present a command line interface.
Though this interface will allow users to authenticate to the core in the same manner as the GUI, its menu is not navigatable, as the directional keys/arrows act as escape commands.
