Administrator Guide for SAS 9.1.3 Foundation for Microsoft Windows 7
As you proceed through the SAS Administrator Wizard, your SAS Installation Data is
integrated into the network image that you are creating. This results in end user installations
that are customized with the same SAS Installation Data. With the SAS Installation Data file
in hand, you can begin to create the appropriate network image(s) to support your end users.
Creating an Image for Client Users
This section assumes that you have retrieved the SAS Installation Data file. The material here
describes the creation of a network image to support Client Users.
Client Users are users of SAS Software who will run the majority of SAS from a network image
that you create. These users require a minimal installation using SAS Setup, and only a small
number of components are copied to their local PCs. (If your end users will install the
software to their local PCs, see the section Creating an Image for Personal Users on page 8).
The SAS Administrator Wizard includes
a prompt for specifying your End User Type.
You should select Client Users on this dialog, and continue through the dialogs that follow it.
One of these will be the Select Components dialog.
From the Select Components dialog, you are able to specify the software that your client users
will run from the network image. In this way, you can limit the types of software that your
client users are able to run.
