Introduction This guide provides instructions for installing the software associated with Scan to PC Desktop in a network environment. Targeted users are administrators, Information Technology specialists or programmers who set up or perform network installations. It assumes the reader is familiar with Microsoft Windows 2000/2003 Server with Active Directory or with Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS), in addition to program package setup, advertising and distribution.
Scan to PC Desktop software components Scan to PC Desktop is delivered in two CD-ROM variants: Special Edition and Professional Edition. These two editions of Scan to PC Desktop comprise different software products from Nuance. All the installers of these software components support MSI (Windows Installer-based) distribution.
Windows 2000/2003 Server with Active Directory Support Active Directory is a feature of Windows 2000 Advanced Server and Windows 2003 Server. Group Policy, a component of Active Directory, includes a Software Installation snap-in that enables an administrator to create a network installation. The administrator can use this feature to install software to Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Vista clients only.
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.
