For example (as mentioned earlier) some properties can only be configured from the command line. Zoey can also deploy with Active Directory or via a Citrix Presentation Server, though both have some limitations. Because of the many and varied system setups at the enterprise level, MindManager strives to provide deployments even for these less frequent situations.

Just to round out the large-scale deployment story here, I should mention some less-frequently used paths.

Admin) setup, which can push deploy multiple instances of the app from an SMS server, and can install onto groups of users’ systems if deployed with Windows Active Directory, Group Policy, or IntelliMirror. So, maybe Zoey wants more control and confidence over the whole process. Alternately, Zoey could install on a centrally-accessible server, such as Citrix - easier to manage and control. This standard setup is certainly an option, but seriously time-consuming and limited to single machines. A System Administrator - let’s call this geek girl Zoey - can in fact install on a machine-by-machine basis. There are a number of ways to deploy MindManager across the enterprise.

It’s something Product Development keeps refining so that System Administrators can get MindManager up and running, quickly, easily, and (most importantly) painlessly, no matter where the PC is located. This is what we call large-scale deployment. For many of us MindManager users, “deployment” is simple: download the most recent version from the Mindjet website, install, and - go! (Nice, huh?)īut what about the situation where there are a lot of users - companies where a whole department, or the whole enterprise, start using MindManager? How does this work? Does a roving herd of IT folk go from machine to machine on “MindManager Installation Day?”
