To deploy Studio to multiple virtual machines, you can install it in a golden image. You can install on physical machines or virtual machines. If you are a community user, use the Community Edition of the installer. Use the Enterprise Edition of the installer if your organization purchased the UiPath Platform or you are installing as part of a trial of the UiPath Platform. # /usr/bin/osascript -e 'tell application "System Events"' -e 'activate' -e "display alert "n$mountedserver server mounted.The UiPath Studio MSI installer enables you to install Studio, StudioX, Robot, and Assistant.

You will of course have to modify the code to work with your environment. We use 10.4 where we can, and 10.5 only on machines that require 10.5. Next it will select what image the machine runs based on processor. Also, with certain subnets, it will select 1 of 4 image servers (based off of the second) to load balance image servers. The script below selects a server based on subnet. I have other thoughts on using one image name (with multiple images), but I'll save that for another hint. Hope this helps those other network administrators going through the same struggles. We are basing this on our subnets, but your mileage may vary.
When the computer netboots and DeployStudio Runtime is launched, it connects up to the Deploy Studio server (again, hosted on the fiber network).Ī preflight script will mount the correct AFP mount prior to imaging the computer. For instance, our Deploy Studio is on our fiber network, but our satellite site is on cable. When Deploy Studio wants to mount the images volume (via AFP), I just have a preflight script that mounts the volume based on which location (based on subnet) the computer is being imaged at.
I am jumping on board the DeployStudio train, and with multiple sites to support, I ran into the issue of how to use one master Deploy Studio server, but host the images at each of the sites (especially the WAN locations).
