Chapter

Considerations

for

deploying

Access

Connections

Collecting

information

about

the

various

places

where

users

might

attempt

to

connect

and

the

kinds

of

connections

available

in

those

locations

will

help

you

develop

preconfigured

profiles

that

users

can

import

and

use

right

away.

By

capturing

working

configurations

in

profiles

which

can

be

deployed

with

the

initial

image,

support

calls

can

be

reduced

and

users

can

immediately

take

advantage

of

their

network

connections

without

intervention.

An

Administrator

Feature

is

available

with

version

2.7

or

later

of

Access

Connections.

This

feature

simplifies

the

task

of

deploying

location

profiles,

global

settings,

and

control

policies

to

individuals

or

groups

of

individuals

running

Access

Connections

in

a

corporate

environment.

The

deployment

of

these

profiles

and

settings

can

be

accomplished

during

the

initial

system

deployment

as

part

of

the

preload

image

or

after

systems

are

in

the

field

using

standard

remote

deployment

methods.
