(WCM)
This section provides information about installing and configuring WCM in 
your environment. Depending on your environment and intended 
deployment, you can choose one of the following:
• Server Deployment — if you want a server environment that uses FTP, 
HTTP, or HTTPS servers and intend to create configuration files that thin 
clients can access automatically to update themselves. 
Manual Deployment — if you want a non-server environment and intend 
to create configuration files that thin client systems can access locally to 
update themselves manually using the Import feature of the WCM Client 
Control Panel applet on the thin client system.
