I need to deploy an application to the field at my company that uses a
database on a new server. I would like to be able to add the new
server and host's information to setnet during the install without
having to manually update each PC.

Is this possible? Can someone provide me with instructions?

If it matters, the application itself is written in Delphi and we are
using version 9.51 2.70/TC3 of setnet 32. The Client machines are
running Windows XP, and we have the ability to manage the machines
remotely and transfer files to an entire group all at one. (I forget
the name if the app they use to do that) I will need to add entries
to both the host and service information tabs.

Any ideas?
Kimberly

Export the Setnet-configuration of a working installation into a file
like "myserver.nfx".

To install Connect silent use a commandline like:
setup.exe /s /SMS /v"/qn INSTALLDIR=your_installation_directory"

Import the needed Setnet-configuration with:

your_installation_directory\bin\setnet32.exe -l myserver.nfx

BUT: there-s a bug in Setnet: it always imports your settings under HKCU
but forgets to set "DEFAULT_USER_SETTING" to "CU" under HKCU (it
defaults to "LM"). You-ll have to add it to the registry by your
installation program.

Don-t forget the services-file and make sure your DB-server is either
reachable thru DNS or modify the host-file on your client-machines
accordingly.

Regards

Dirk
