I've only used Workgroup PDM in the past and looking through that 600+ page administrative guide that comes with PDM standard doesn't appear to be the fast route to getting up and running.
I'm trying to understand the topology of the program and server set up.
Does anyone know of a tutorial or a quick-setup guide or have any advice about how to understand how this stuff is deployed?
Thanks
John
Hello John, typically within the install files, there are install guides included,which should guide you through the process of setting up PDM standard.
See the 2016 PDM install guide attached.
Hope this helps

Thank you for that Prasad. I'm going through that manual now.
While we are yet to use it I found this gave me the warm&fuzzies about installing and deploying PDM. It is a set of 4 videos that seem to give a very straightforward tutorial for setting up simple PDM:
1 of 4 - SolidWorks Workgroup PDM Basic Tutorial - YouTube
Edit: forgive me, I was unaware that Workgroup PDM and PDM Standard were two completely different packages.
