Installation Using Systems Management Software (SMS)
The Outlook Extension MSI can be distributed by SMS; this method was tested,
and is supported, using SMS2003 SP2 and the following process.
NOTE SMS Administration Experience Required
These instructions presume familiarity with creating and distributing software
using SMS. Not all steps in the process are documented here, as each
organization’s environment is unique, and distribution practices may vary.
To install the Outlook Extension using SMS:
1 Using the SMS Create Package from Definition wizard, build an SMS
package using the EMS Outlook Extension MSI.
NOTE Per-system unattended vs. Per-system attended Installation
If your users are logged in to Outlook, install the Extension using the EXE and
the Per-system attended function. If your users are not logged in to Outlook, use
the MSI and the Per-system unattended function. You may want to use the
install only when no user is logged in option when distributing by
MSI.
2 In the Site Database menu tree, expand Packages.
3 Expand the Outlook Extension package and click Programs.
4 In the right pane, right-click Per-system unattended > All Tasks >
Distribute Software. The Distribute Program Wizard launches.
5 Complete the Wizard.
6 Advertise the package to the target collection, according to your
organization’s established process.
To upgrade the Outlook Extension using SMS:
1 Verify that the SMS package created with the previous version of the MSI
still exists; if not, recreate it.
2 Define a Collection of hosts with the prior version of the MSI installed. To
do this:
a. In the Site Database menu tree, select Collections > New >
Collection.

Collection.
c. Click the Membership Rules tab.
