First use the setup utility to create a new “Deployment,” saving the deployment to a network path. Once you have created a new deployment browse to the network path you saved it to. In this folder you should have three items, a folder called “AdminImage”, a folder called “Tools”, and a shortcut with the name of your deployment. View the properties of the shortcut and copy the “Target” field.

The target field should be simular to the following (One Line):

\\server\share\AutoCAD_2010\AdminImage\setup.exe /qb /I \\server\share\AutoCAD_2010\AdminImage\AutoCAD_2010_x86.ini /language en-us

Append this line with /wait to acheive a result simular to the following (one line):

\\server\share\AutoCAD_2010\AdminImage\setup.exe /qb /I \\server\share\AutoCAD_2010\AdminImage\AutoCAD_2010_x86.ini /language en-us /wait

Now just execute the command above from your scripts!

The AutoDesk Documentation is available here (pdf), but the document only provides an example in visual basic script.

Bonus:

If you wish to deploy the Visual C Runtime, DirectX, .NET 3.5 SP1, etc separately you can edit the .ini file referenced in the command above to remove this functionality (“\AdminImage\AutoCAD_2010_x86.ini” in this example). Simply open the file in a plain text editor and remove the references to the components you do not wish to have the setup install on the “PREREQUISITE” lines in the “[ACAD]” and “[ADR]” sections.

  • Log in to the domain with an administrative account.
  • Type the following into the command prompt:“rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ga /n\\%server_name%\%printer_name%“. In other words, if your server is named server1 and your printer’s name is printer2 then replace %server_name% with “server1″ and %printer_name% with “printer2″. The Command to add the printer “printer2″ on the server “server1″ would be:

    rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ga /n\\server1\printer2

  • The printer is now available to all users who log in with a domain account.
