Compress the .zip file back to “UnattendedUpdate(build-3.8.0.xxxx).zip”.
To deploy the Velocity update using the deployment tool:
Upload the “UnattendedUpdate(build-3.8.0.xxxx).zip” file as a package/application in the deployment tool.
Make configurations to select the list of all client machines where update needs to be applied
Configure such that the deployment application runs the UnattendedUpdate.exe file (this exe file will read all the configurations/options from the XML file and will update accordingly)
Make configuration to run the UnattendedUpdate.exe as a (domain) Admin user.
When the deployment process starts, the deployment tool will automatically download the zip files to all the client machines, extract the zip, and will run UnattendedUpdate.exe as Admin (even if the client machine is logged in as an operator/non-admin user) and the update will continue according to the options configured in the unattendedupdate.xml file(particularly in the above sample highlighted section).
