The combined use of a registered procedure and a CD can be of value if you need to create an administrative installation on the domain manager and on its downstream scalability servers as it can reduce bandwidth requirements.

Note: To create the administrative installations on the scalability servers, use the first method offered by the MSI package registration wizard, Register MSI package to the Software Package Library, when registering the MSI item in the Software Package Library. Check the box Enable installation from CD-ROM, on the CD options dialog.

When the item has been registered in the Software Package Library, select the Administrative Install procedure and use drag-and-drop to the scalability servers.
