 # Create and maintain a network installation of Visual Studio
 
-Sometimes an enterprise administrator wants to create a private installation point that contains Visual Studio files that can be [deployed to client machines within an organization](deploy-a-layout-onto-a-client-machine.md). Creating a private installation point is useful for situations where a user may have limited permissions, where the client machines may have limited access to the internet, or when an organization wants to standardize on a particular version of the developer toolset. We designed Visual Studio so that an administrator can both create and maintain a "layout", which is a private cache of Visual Studio files, that can be stored on an internal network share and can be made available on an organization's intranet. The layout serves as the source location for all Visual Studio files needed for both initial client installation and subsequent updates.

 The recommended approach is to create an initial layout of Visual Studio with all workloads and appropriate languages and store the packages into the layout directory on the network server.
