PDQ Deploy is a free deployment software for small organizations. Since there are no restrictions regarding the number of target computers, the tool can also be used in larger networks. The PDQ deployment tool will push up to eight systems simultaneously.
When one finishes, it will grab another from the queue. PDQ Deploy supports Active Directory. The free mode allows unlimited use of a subset of PDQ Deploy features. PDQ Deploy can be used for free in commercial and non-commercial environments. There is no time limit, nor is there a limit to the number of computers that can be managed. PDQ free mode provides a library of up-to-date, prebuilt packages for common, free applications such as Adobe Reader, iTunes, Handbrake, Java, Windows, and internet browsers.
A PDQ Deploy package is a set of one or more steps that are executed on target computers. Use the Package window to create and edit packages. The Package window has three main components—the Menu and Toolbar, the Step list, and the Package / Step Properties. Use the Deploy Once window to select target computers, set deployment properties, and deploy immediately.
This window has two primary components—the Targets Editor and Deployment Properties. Setup post deployment email notifications to managers or coworkers that will automatically send when the deployment is complete. Deployments can install, uninstall, update, repair, and other changes across the network. The File, Edit, View, Reports, and Help menus provide commands and controls for the components and content you create and edit in PDQ Deploy. The Toolbar provides quick, context sensitive access to selected commands.
