At Triggerfish my IT guy had setup a kickstart sytem that deployed both
a Linux setup to our render nodes and a windows one to the
workstations. If you like I can find out the procedure to do it. It
did work very well, especially on the Linux side, we could build a
render node complete in about 10 - 15 mins ready to render again.

Hi.
In my never ending quest to find a way to install Softimage
automatically and simply on all machines, I have yet again hit a road
block.
Last year, after several days of failed attempts, I resorted to
installing it manually on my machine and copying the folder on the
other machines. I had to copy the ProductInformation.pit file from
C:\Program Data and I had to run the runonce.bat file. And then all
was well and dandy. Easily scriptable and no human intervention required.
This year however, things seem different. When I do the same,
Softimage can't find a license. This is where the
ProductInformation.pit file was required last year, but it seems it's
not enough now.
I noticed there is a new License.env file in the Application\bin
folder. But it contains the right informations about our license
server since I ran the installer on my machine. I don't know if it has
anything to do with all this.
Any one has bits of info on this?
Thanks.
Francois
