AutoCAD 2012 Network Deployments and SCCM

Not much has really changed from AutoCAD 2011 (pertaining to network deployment aspects regarding SCCM, that is), but these two items should be kept in mind:

  • .NET Framework 4.0 (required) cannot be deployed within the Autodesk 2012 deployment package using SCCM.  You must deploy .NET Framework 4.0 separately, and ahead of the Autodesk product deployment package.
  • DirectX(R) 9.0C is still not supported during an Autodesk 2012 network deployment installation.  It must also (still) be installed ahead of the Autodesk product.
Refer to the NAG section titled "Alternative Distribution Methods" / "Use Microsoft SCCM to Deploy Products"

That is all.  Enjoy your day.
