ABBYY Recognition Server 3.0 System Administrator’s Guide
Installing ABBYY Recognition Server using Microsoft Systems
Management Server (SMS)
Microsoft Systems Management Server automates software deployment in a network and eliminates the need to go
directly to the locations where the software is to be installed (computers, groups, or servers).
Software deployment using SMS includes three stages:
1. Preparing ABBYY Recognition Server for automated installation (creating a so–called "unattended setup").
2. Creating a deployment script (i.e. choosing installation parameters: computer names, time of installation,
conditions for installation, etc.).
3. Installing the software on the specified computers using SMS in accordance with the installation parameters
specified in the script.
An example of deploying ABBYY Recognition Server using SMS
1. Create an administrative installation point:
Run the setup.exe file with the /a commandline option from the ABBYY Recognition Server
installation CDROM:
setup.exe /a
Next during administrative installation, specify a shared network folder that can be accessed from any
workstation on which you are planning to install the program (e.g.
\\MyServer\Programs\RecognitionServerAdminSetup).
2. Once the administrative installation point has been created, select the Packages item in the SMS Administrator
Console.
3. In the Action menu, select New/Package.
