Administrative Images

Do you have multiple seats of SolidWorks? Are you maintaining them individually? Silly Admin, create an image! It doesn’t matter if they’re network licenses or not, maintaining them through an administrative image is the way to go.

We only have four seats of SolidWorks, but I maintain my three seats of Office Premium (the fourth is a stand-alone Office Pro) through an admin image. It doesn’t take too much more time on the front end to get everything set up, but the amount of time it saves you not having to deal with service packs individually is worth it. Even setting up batch files to install Cosmos, SolidWorks Explorer, or PDMWorks (enterprise) is fairly easy. I know virtually nothing about HTML, API, or any of that stuff but, with a little help, I was able to do it.

As a CAD Administrator, you owe it to yourself to learn how. Click here to get the basics. Have more questions? Contact your VAR or you can email me.

About Jeff's Tool Shed

While most of what I write will be about SolidWorks, or partner products, from time to time I've been known to go off on random rants about whatever crosses my mind.

Legal B.S.: The thoughts, opinions and commentary posted on Jeff's Tool Shed are mine and mine only. I speak only for myself and no other person(s) or entities, real or imagined.

To satisfy (I hope) FTC disclosure rules: I am provided with non-commercially licensed software and hardware for review by many companies, including Dassault Systemes. (Duh, this is a review blog) While reviewing said software and hardware, I am in contact with employees of the companies providing products involved and, occasionally, asked for feedback (again, it is a review blog). I am not compensated for any of this. DS SolidWorks Corporation has paid for my travel, accommodations, and some meals for various user group events including SolidWorks World.

Questions, comments or complaints can be posted in the 'comments' section of each post or you can email me directly. Thanks for reading!
