ABSTRACT:
A system for distributing software in a customized configuration, to pre-selected computers in a network environment, includes a workstation running a console, a workstation running an agent, and a file server. The workstation running the console creates distribution control information which dictates how the software is distributed and to what agent based workstations under a given set of conditions. The distribution control information is stored on the file server where it is subsequently downloaded from by the agent based workstation which meets the conditions for a particular configuration of the software.
