Deploy Trillian
I have been Trying to deploy Trillian from the premade template and it does not work. First before even deploying it asked for the uninstall switch. Then after contacting support, they gave me the switches but that still did not allow me to deploy the software. When I deploy this I get the system can not find file specified error.

Why does the distribution server replicate the same configuration every time?
I have a template setup with about 5 different software that I need to deploy to a new computer. Most the time it is to just one pc then later I might have to deploy to another. I noticed that every time I go to redeploy the template that it has to replicate all the software to the distribution server even though that DS already has the software stored in its repository. Is there a better way to redeploy a template so that it won't have to replicate every software in the configuration every time?

Post-Installation Activities
New to Desktop Central, formerly SCCM, and I am already a big fan ! Post installation activities only lists 'custom script'. What kinds of scripts can I use ? .bat .cmd ? What about .vbs, AutoIT, Python ? Also, does my script have to live in the 'script repository' or can it just be added to the software deployment package when I '+add files' ? If someone could post a screenshot of a post-installation script entry that would be super helpful.
