How do we set up sharing of packages and deployments for multiple administrators?
We have PDQ Deploy Enterprise and are looking at buying another license for another administrator. Is there a easy way to able to share packages that each administrator creates/downloads?? I noticed this comment from Shane mentioned in this question http://support.adminarsenal.com/entries/95855098-When-will-a-remote-console-be-available-for-PDQ-Deploy-
'While we have internally discussed this (at length) we haven't decided when or if it will be offered. If it ever is offered, it would be either an additional product or an option that could be enabled within Enterprise mode.
PDQ Deploy was designed to have a single administrator running the console from their workstation. In organizations with multiple administrators we do offer the ability to share packages, deployment history, etc. with other consoles when the appropriate Enterprise licenses have been purchased. Many of our larger customers utilize these Sharing features.
The lack of a centralized database with multiple consoles is one of the things that separates us from many of our competitors (SCCM, Tivoli, etc.) and the low price of our products definitely reflect that difference. We love that PDQ Deploy and PDQ Inventory can be set up and running in just a few minutes. A centralized database adds a much higher level of complexity for our users and for our development and support. Thus we are hesitant to implement this at our current price point.'
We have the trial version of PDQ Deploy Enterprise install on another server to try and test this setup. Any help you can give would be great
Thanks!

Hi Darren,
Our apologies that this comes late. Hopefully you were able to get an answer to this question, but if not, or there are others out there with the same question, we have quite a few resources available that explains sharing from a high level down to a deep dive into the topic. Please see the videos below for more information regarding sharing and what it can (and cannot) do.
