AClient Remote Install
Here is a training document I put together on how to install the AClient from the Deployment Server console.
Most of you know how this is done but it may help if you need to explain it to a new user.
Step-by-Step
Open the Deployment Server console. At the top there are a row of buttons. Open the one that looks like an antenna which is the Remote Agent Installer or go to Tools/Remote Agent Installer.
Next Choose to use the same username and password for all clients and put in your username and password.
Leave the default client install path and choose next.
Choose to add the clients to the default group and choose next.
Click on the Add button to add clients.
Type in the computer name(s) and click OK.
Click the Finish button.
You should get the message that the client installed successfully. If not make sure you typed the name in correctly and the computer can actually return a ping request.

Good article for newbies
The only thing I would add is when adding actual clients to get the install. If you are manually typing them in, you can type them all in one line. The names of the machines just has to be separated by a single space in between.
Support Staff
We have a similar document that we've given to the support staff members that are using the Altiris Deployment Console. Although we still end up fielding a lot of requests since the Knowledge base isn't the first place looked at. Although I do agree this is a good article for those who don't use every feature of DS or might just be new to it.

Thanks, Paul. I plan to 'borrow' these instructions for our own organization's knowledge base. :)
Good article for knowledge base
Hope you don't mind us borrowing this for our internal knowledge base. This will help us when we hire new people. Wish I had this back when I was just starting out with deployment server.
