RapiDeploy Technical Reference
In Deployment Solution, most imaging tasks can be completed directly from task wizard
in the Deployment Console.
For advanced imaging operations, you might need the extended functionality provided
by the command-line interface of the Deployment Solution imaging tool, RapiDeploy.
This section provides details on using the RapiDeploy command-line interface.

RapiDeploy Executable Files
The following table lists and gives a short description of RapiDeploy executable files:
Running RapiDeploy from the Command-line
You can create and deploy images from the command-line using switches. This is useful
if you want to run imaging from a batch file and not use the Rdeploy wizard.
RapiDeploy Executable Files
File Description
rdeploy An Altiris program with a graphical “wizard-like” interface. When run on a
computer, rdeploy.exe temporarily designates the computer as the
RapiDeploy “Master PC” or as the “Client PC”. The Master PC controls how
images are created, uploaded, and downloaded, and how they are sent or
multicasted to other computers.
Rdeploy.exe lets you set up configurations (such as TCP/IP and networking
settings) on the computer after it has received an image. You can run
rdeploy.exe with command-line switches and set up other options for
imaging and multicasting.
rdeployt A text-based version of RapiDeploy, this version does not provide a
graphical interface but supports the command-line switches.
firm File System Independent Resource Management (FIRM) lets you access
files in automation. This is an advanced feature
. You do not have to use it
to perform normal management tasks. For more information, see Using
File System Independent Resource Management (FIRM) on page 429.
