I think I am going to be using Admin images for the first time this year when I employ SolidWorks here. Thanks for the info! Wish you had posted this about 1. Spent an entire day trying to get it installed and running. Hello Brian, Upto creation of Admin image, it looks good. But how to notify the client or how it is implemented at client machines. Please clarify. Thank you. Thanks Brian, One more doubt. When we are upgrading from Solidworks to Solidwork Should we create a new administrative image in a similar directory structure, but '' and give the share name as 'SW'.
Then send new notification to clients. Now what will happen when the clients 'click' the link. Will it upgrade the client's exsiting Solidworks installation or will it do a parallel installation with both SW and SW coexiting in the same computer?
Or otherwise, is it possible to give a generic share name like 'Solidworks' instead of 'SW', and so on and just continue to give the same share name for both Service Pack upgradations and Version upgradations, so that client machines will always upgrade automatically after the first installation. This would be helpful, since we don't have to disturb client users every year for Solidworks version upgradations.
Sure this is the last query I have regarding this. Hope you will spare some time for me once again to answer this question too. If you use a different share name for the new version, I believe that it will install parallel. The client install is tied to the share name, and will only look to that to see if the image has changed.

This topic and all topics linked from this topic. Just this topic. I would not be suprised to see a push to get WorkGroup users over to Enterprise at some point in the future. I might not object to that as long as I don't loose any of the functionality in WorkGroup that we are using. I have already been seeing the push to go to Enterprise over Workgroup.
I probably talk to my sales person every couple of weeks and for the past months just about every phone call he mentions Enterprise.
I attended a webinar on it and the functionality and usability seems much better than PDMworks. You can access it directly though windows explorer you do not need to go through Solidworks Explorer. This implies that the permisions and log in is controlled by the computer log in so you should not have to remember another username and password.
I think Enterprise needs to have an Item Centric view capability like WorkGroup has had since its inception before the interface will be close enough for WorkGroup users to feel comfortable. Item centric capability is coming in SP2 supposedly Hi, interesting to read your PDMWorks issues.
Maybe anyone has an idea for my problem. Since last year I'm using PDMworks and I like that you can have your vault running on any machine after half an hour. I have full richts on the vault, vaultadmin can access it without any problems, I can check in items, but when trying to check out the system hangs with no further message.
My personal feeling is since a stable version of SWX the package is getting worse and worse. But what will be in another 3 years? As for the loss of write access randomly, well, , let's just say that the team that put the new settings together for our '09 install missed something.
Joe, Thanks for the feedback because I was getting ready to turn the switch over to SW I think I'm stick with SW for now and deal with its "failed to save document" crashes I deal with 5 times a day.
And when is SP2. Colin, I don't know the answer to either question. The best the VAR would tell me is that these are critical issues which should put them high on the priority list, but we'll see. Register now while it's still free!

Best I can recommend is to make sure your vault is at the latest version. I've also noticed that restarting to vault Letting it validate the vault can sometimes fix errors like this also.
You just updated to SolidWorks I also believe that it would pay you to skip SW08 and go straight to SW09; you will find it more user friendly.
