Systems Management Server Support
Systems Management Server (SMS) provides a mechanism for pushing application installations
out from the server to client systems. SMS supports all versions of Windows 2000, XP and
Vista when installing products that use Windows Installer (MSI) technology. SMS requires that a
client application be installed on all client machines. PaperPort was tested using SMS version 2.0
with Service Pack 2 and Windows 2000 Server with Service Pack 4. Be aware that it does not
support Windows NT 4.0. The software components of Scan to PC Desktop were tested using
SMS Server version 2.0 with Service Pack 4 and SMS Server 2003 with Service Pack 3.
SMS enables you to deploy a setup package per User or per System. The software components
have been verified to work in the per System configuration only. The per System installation of
the components can be configured to run either unattended or attended. Instructions for
controlling this process are provided below.
All the software components of Scan to PC Desktop use Windows Installer Technology. The
official Microsoft document describing the usage of Windows Installer-based applications with
SMS (entitled "Deploying Windows Installer Setup Packages with Systems Management Server
2.0"). The document is available at
