With WinINSTALL's ability to see all of the PC's and users; software distribution becomes easier than ever before. Targeting PC's for delivery can take place directly from the WinINSTALL management console in a variety of methods.

Active Directory integration
WinINSTALL can automatically discover the Active Directory properties of both users and systems, including organizational unit container and group level membership. Software packages can then be targeted based on Active Directory attributes.

Software Distribution has never been this easy yet flexible in function
WinINSTALL supports more distribution methods and flexibility than any other product available today. WinINSTALL supports the following distribution methods:

-  Drag and Drop - Now you can drag any package directly to a machine or group of

   PC's and have installation on demand

-  Inventory Based Distribution - allows you to run a query with any condition, such

   as hardware configuration, to distribute application packages to a subset of PC's

   that need a particular patch, application or change

-  Scheduled Distribution - allows any PC or group of PC's to have

   application packages installed at specific dates and times such as non-peak hours for

   specific groups of user

-  Interactive Distribution - allows users to pick applications from a menu and to

   distribute when they need them

-  WinINSTALL Program Launcher - otherwise known as WiPL allows packages to be

    installed on first use

-  Internet Installer - allows distribution via the Internet

-  Auto Distribution - allows distribution at user log on

-  Email Distribution - allows applications to be attached to email messages for

    distribution

-  CD Creation Wizard - allows distribution from a CD for those PC's that are

    remote and have larger builds that need to be installed or have limited network

    connections

-  Windows Installer - Because WinINSTALL supports the Windows Installer service

    (.msi), it is able to switch user account context during a package installation allowing

    for self-healing application installation on systems that have been secured

Checkpoint/Restart
Upon reconnection, any partial downloads to PC's will continue where they left off; there is no need to restart transmissions because of a disconnected session.

Checkpoint/restart works at the byte level, requiring only the download of those bytes in a package that haven't already been transferred. Checkpoint restart optimizes internet distribution by intelligently copying all necessary files to the local hard drive before beginning installation.
