DOCUMENT:Q156189 30-JUL-2001 [sms] TITLE :SMS: Shared Installation of Microsoft Exchange on Windows NT PRODUCT :Microsoft Systems Management Server PROD/VER:winnt:1.0,1.1,1.2 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbsetup kbPGC smspgc ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Systems Management Server versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY ======= This article explains how to set up a shared package of Microsoft Exchange on a client running Windows NT. MORE INFORMATION ================ 1. Create a source directory for the Microsoft Exchange Windows NT client setup files (for example, C:\XNTFlat). 2. Create a directory called Msapps below the XNTFlat directory (for example, C:\XNTFlat\Msapps). 3. Run Setup /A for the Windows NT client from the Microsoft Exchange client compact disc, and install to the directories created in the previous steps. 4. From the Microsoft Exchange Administrator program group, run the Microsoft Exchange Setup Editor. Point the Setup Editor to the C:\XNTFlat directory. 5. Modify entries as necessary for your installation. NOTE: Remove Personal Folders if you want all clients to store their e-mail messages on the server. 6. To perform a totally unattended workstation installation, edit the Setup.stf file in C:\XNTFlat, making the following change: Change line 14 from: 14 Network AppMainDlg 21 22 23 24 : 25 382 17 ... To: 14 Network AppMainDlg 24 : 25 382 17 ... Line 14 tells the Setup program which options to present to the user when doing a network installation. By making this change, you are limiting the installation to a workstation installation, defined by line 24. The following is a list of the lines, and the options they represent: 21 - Typical 22 - Custom 23 - Laptop 24 - Workstation 7. Copy the Exwinnt.pdf file from the Exchange client compact disc to the Systems Management Server directory on your hard drive. Edit the file using a text editor such as Notepad, and add the following section below the [Setup Package for Sharing] section: [Program Item Properties 1] CommandLine=exchng32.exe Description=Microsoft Exchange NT Client ConfigurationScript=dosetup.exe exchange setup.exe /Q1 RegistryName=exchange DefaultINIFile= RunMinimized=FALSE RunLocalCopyIfPresent=FALSE DriveMode=ANY_DRIVE_LETTER SupportedPlatforms=Windows NT 3.1 (x86) SetupIcon= DisplayIconInProgGroup=TRUE 8. Save the file and use it to create a shared package. When creating the package, you must still designate the source directory, designate the share point, and change the icon. 9. Create the program group and job to distribute the file. The quiet mode of installation used in this .pdf file uses the following registry key for the user's name: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MS Setup(ACME)\User Info If this is incorrect or somehow different from the Exchange mailbox, the user must run Control Panel Mail and Fax to edit his or her profile. The key above has two values: DefName (for the user name) and DefCompany (for the company name).
