Slient Installation leveraging using IP of client

[doug]

You can specify the client IP in the deployment, if you want. The way to do this would be instead of populating the BatchPatch grid with host names, instead go ahead and populate it with IP addresses. You will then deploy to the IP addresses instead of to the host names. Then inside the deployment if you want to use the IP address as a parameter for the deployment, you can do that by specifying the $computer variable. When the deployment runs, BatchPatch will swap $computer for the actual host name of the row, which in this case would be the IP address since you specified IP addresses instead of host names. You can use the $computer variable in BatchPatch local and remote processes / commands too. I hope this helps.
