Managing Distribution Points A key feature of the <strong>Casper</strong> <strong>Suite</strong> is the ability to deploy packages from multiple distribution points. This lets you deploy packages to computers in other locations using servers that are geographically close to each destination. It reduces the need for bandwidth between locations and allows you to deploy packages across a widespread network. Distribution points can share files over Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) or Server Message Block (SMB). This section explains how to do the following: add distribution points • replicate distribution points replicate FireWire or USB drives • Adding Distribution Points Servers running any platform can function as distribution points. Adding a distribution point involves the following steps: • Set up the distribution point Add a record of the distribution point to the JSS • Step 1: Set Up a New Distribution Point 1. Create a share point (AFP or SMB) on the server you want to utilize as the distribution point. 2. Create an account that has read-only access to the share. 3. Create an account that has read/write access to the share. 4. Make sure “Everyone” has read-only access to the share. 5. (Optional) Enable HTTP or HTTPS on the share point. Step 2: Add a Record of the Distribution Point to the JSS 1. Log in to the JSS with a web browser. 2. Click the Settings tab. 3. Click the Servers link. 4. Click the Add Server button in the toolbar. 5. Select the Distribution Point option and click Continue. 6. Enter a display name for the server. 7. Specify the DNS name or IP address for the server. 35
