AI packages may be stored on the Symantec Ghost
Console server, at an HTTP location, on a network share, or locally
on each client computer. To make an AI package available for
deployment, you need to create an AI package definition for it. To
deploy an AI package, you add the appropriate AI package definition
to a Deploy AI Package task.
Each AI package definition contains the name and
location of an AI package and, if the package is stored on the
Symantec Ghost Console server, it also contains the GUID. The
available AI package definitions are stored in the AI Packages
folder in the Symantec Ghost Console.

Note: When you use this AI package definition in a
Deploy AI Package task, the task looks for an AI package file at
the specified location and name on each client computer. The
Symantec Ghost Console does not validate the path for each client
computer when you create an AI package definition. It is up to you
to ensure that the package file exists on each client computer in
the correct location.
