Apple System 7 Pro - Manual (Page 6)

You can install the new system software over the network from the System 7
Pro CD-ROM, or from the System 7 Pro installation disks provided.
Administrator instructions
If you, the network administrator, will be installing the new system software
on users' computers, you will repeat the process that you followed on your
own computer (as described in "Upgrading Your Own Macintosh or PowerBook"
earlier in this handbook):
- Check the compatibility of programs installed on the computer's disks.
- Install the system software.
- Choose a printer.
User instructions
If network users are upgrading their own computers, you can provide them with
the booklet What's New in System 7 Pro, included with the software. You can
order extra copies from your Apple dealer.
In addition to installation instructions, What' s New in System 7 Pro contains
instructions for checking software compatibility, which is an important part
of the upgrade process. If users are upgrading without this booklet, be sure
to provide them with appropriate compatibility instructions.
Server access template
The Administrator Tools folder on the System 7 Pro CD-ROM contains brief
instructions to help users connect to the upgrade server.
Customize these instructions by adding the zone, server, and volume name of
your upgrade server and then distribute copies to users.
Monitoring user upgrades with Inter»Poll
The Administrator Tools folder on the System 7 Pro CD-ROM includes the
Inter»Poll network administration utility. You can use this program to
monitor the status of user upgrades from your own Macintosh or PowerBook.
Inter»Poll scans the network and lists versions of the System, Finder, and
LaserWriter files for each active Macintosh or PowerBook. Inter»Poll is also
useful for other network monitoring tasks, but only the version-listing
feature is needed to monitor a group upgrade. This feature is described
below.
To verify system and printer software versions:
1. Open Inter»Poll.
The Network Search window appears.
2. Select the AppleTalk zones to be searched.
The box in the upper-left corner of the window displays all zones visible to
the Inter»Poll workstation. The search will include any zone(s) you select in
this list. The zone in which the Inter»Poll program is registered is selected
