Deployment Manager

The GestionnaireDeDeploiement_Antidote12.exe application, which can be downloaded from your Organization Client Portal, is used to create the ReseauAntidote.mst and ReseauConnectix.mst files. All the parameters of the deployment configuration are contained in these files. The command lines that launch the deployment of Antidote and Connectix refer to these files. The specified configuration also creates the files ReseauAntidote.ini and ReseauConnectix.ini automatically, although these files are also contained in the corresponding MST files.

Upon installation of Antidote, the ReseauAntidote.mst file assigns the completed installation to the call of the MSI installer. The installation also extracts the ReseauAntidote.ini file from the ReseauAntidote.mst file, and then copies it into the Antidote folder, which thereby has access to the configuration. Creation of the ReseauAntidote.mst and ReseauAntidote.ini allows the following information to be specified:

  • The first name and last name of the administrator
  • The name of the company or organization
  • The serial number
  • The quota code
  • The interface language
  • Antidote’s quick start configuration
  • Personalization (questions that are put to each user when Antidote is first launched)
  • Whether the inappropriate content filter is forced, prevented or offered to the user
  • Whether access to external searches is forced, prevented or offered to the user
  • Whether the Download Assistant can be used to get updates for Antidote and Connectix

Upon installation of Connectix, the ReseauConnectix.mst file assigns the completed installation to the call of the MSI installer. The installation also extracts the ReseauConnectix.ini file from the ReseauConnectix.mst file, and then copies it into the Connectix folder, which thereby has access to the configuration. Creation of the ReseauConnectix.mst and ReseauConnectix.ini allows the following information to be specified:

  • The interface language
  • Whether the Download Assistant can be used to get updates for Antidote and Connectix
  • Configuration of the Antidote Agent (the Antidote icon in the notification area)
  • Configuration of Anti-Oops! (which launches Antidote’s corrector when an email is sent and detects forgotten attachments)
  • Configuration of the Antidote Toolbar, which appears with certain applications (e.g. Internet Explorer, Notepad, Wordpad, etc.)
  • The integration with applications
  • Your Organization Client Portal is your single portal for your serial number, your quota code and your download links to Antidote 12 and its modules.
  • Antidote integration with applications can be forced, prevented or optional for each user. For more details, click on the “More information” button opposite each option visible in the Deployment Manager. Given that some programs must be installed at a machine level, you can either force or prohibit their integration.
  • For an Antidote 12 license using a serial number: When you place an order for new workstations to be added to your license, Druide will send you a new License Agreement. The quota code must be used for all new installations. The Deployment Manager must be used to deploy this new license agreement.
