16.1 What is the AIT file?
An AIT file contains a script that automatically responds to a software installer. If you package an AIT file together with the software you want to distribute, and then perform remote installation of the package, the software will automatically be installed on the destination computers. Users at the destination computers do not need to respond to the installer.
An AIT file is needed when you want to remotely install third party's software or a user program that requests the users at the clients to respond to the installer. You can create an AIT file by using the Automatic Installation Tool, which is a component of JP1/IT Desktop Management 2.
The following figure shows an overview of the remote installation by using an AIT file.
