Install Guide

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.
