Distributing Applications

The software distributes access to applications and other network services when a machine starts or when a new user logs on. For the Windows client, these applications and services are provided to each user by the Login application, which starts automatically when Windows is started.

The Windows-based DHCP application initiates DHCP, receives an IP address and related network information for the machine, configures the machine's stack and services, then begins processing client (SNC) scripts that mount file systems and set search paths for shared resources, groups, individual users, and individual machines.
