Hi Raja,

If you have HP-UX 11.x no problem. You need only one Depot Server.

(AS ROOT)
First you need this bundle on only one System.
On this system you touch a file in /var/adm/sw
# cd /var/adm/sw
# touch .sdkey

Now you must execute one script on all your workstations.

# /usr/lbin/sw/setaccess \*


Now start your swinstall on your depotserver.
You will see the GUI has changed.
Chose menu option action you can chose target or target groups. target groups are only files with the hostnames on which the depot should be installed.

After that you can chose your sofware what you want install.

Big advantage is you can schedule your install job or you can group your workstations in 10th 20th 30th groups and the schedule the job.

This is a HP Tool !!!!
