Univention Corporate Server

LDAP-based software management and network installation with UCS

UCS forms the basis for the centrally controlled operation of desktops and servers including automatic, profile-based installation, simple updates and policy-based software distribution.

LDAP-based software management and network installation with UCS

  • Policy-based, fully automatic software distribution and update maintenance on all server and desktop systems in the UCS domain; for example, policies can be used to set the target version and time for updates
  • Low administrative requirements: changes to settings in the UCS management system are immediately available to all systems
  • Distributed or several different repository servers within one network are possible; policies determine which hosts install software from which repository server
  • Simple administration: all settings are performed centrally via the web front-end or the command line-based interface of the UCS management system
  • Automatic, profile-based network installation via PXE boot for computers and desktops is also possible
  • Profile-based installation guarantees the identical configuration of all the computers in the network.
