Deploying applications to thin clients
The standard application policy allows you to install a single application package and requires reboot before and after installing
each application. Using the advanced application policy, you can install multiple application packages with only two reboots. The
advanced application policy also supports execution of pre and post installation scripts that may be needed to install a particular
application. For more information, see Appendix B.
