Create a Transform: SetParentName.mst

Transform files let you apply customized configuration changes to a Windows Installer package. For a Group Policy installation, you need a transform to specify the name or IP address of the parent server (the CMS or a gateway) that the client machines connect to. Generate this transform and copy it into the same folder as Client.msi, your administrative installation source image (see above).

Note: To avoid the need for separate transforms for the CMS and each gateway, you may want to generate a single transform that specifies, say, the CMS. All client machines initially connect to this server, but after deployment you can assign them to the required gateways using the Administration console.
