The following questions reflect some typical issues that you might face when you are planning to deploy an International Client Pack (ICP) in Configuration Manager 2007:
- Where do you need to install an ICP?
- Are there steps you must take before applying
an ICP?
- Can you roll back an ICP after it is
deployed?
- Which method do you want to use to install an
ICP?
- Will the deployment of an ICP put a demanding
workload on your network or servers?
- How will an ICP affect users, including those
who roam and dial in?
- Are clients who dial into the Configuration
Manager 2007 sites forced to upgrade before they can use the
connection?
- How can you ensure that the ICP deployment is
proceeding successfully?
- Will the application of the ICP regress any
fixes previously applied?
- How do you apply subsequent ICPs, service
packs, or hotfixes to sites with an ICP already installed?
These questions are answered during the design and test phases of your ICP deployment. After your issues or concerns are addressed, you will be ready to move to the deployment phase.
When you are planning your ICP deployment, refer to the Release Notes that are provided with the ICP. In addition to the release notes, other documentation about changes introduced by the ICP might become available at the same time as the ICP, which might help you to better understand the ICP. Such documentation is included with the ICP and is in the Configuration Manager 2007 Web site, see (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=74318).
