PDQ Deploy integrates with Spiceworks so you can select computers for deployment from your Spiceworks groups. You can also link a target list in PDQ Deploy to a Spiceworks group so that when computers are added to or removed from the group in Spiceworks, the changes are reflected in the linked target list.
NOTE: PDQ Deploy is gencralsy current with Spiceworks releaies. Old versions of Spiceworks may not work with PDe Deploy.
Before you can select or link target computers from your Spiceworks groups, you must first provide your Spiceworks login credentials in PDQ Deploy Preferences. These credentials allow PDQ Deploy to connect to your Spiceworks account.
