SUMMARY

The Universal Client Setup (Ucsetup.exe) located on the Microsoft Outlook 8.03 compact disc is used to create a shared client installation point. UCSETUP is not the same as performing an Administrative installation (Setup /A) to create a network installation. To perform a network installation, you must run the Setup program for each individual client.

MORE INFORMATION

The UCSETUP program allows an administrator to more easily create and maintain a shared client installation point for the following clients included on the Outlook 8.03 compact disc:

Windows 95 or Windows NT Client (Outlook)
Windows 16-bit Client (Outlook)
DOS Client (Exchange 5.0)

When you run Ucsetup.exe, you are prompted to choose a directory in which to create the client installation points. At the end of the setup, this directory will automatically be shared as \\<servername>\Outlook with the following default permissions: 
   Administrators - Full Control
   Everyone       - Read

NOTE: If a share called Outlook already exists on the server, the directory will not be shared.

You then have the option of choosing a Complete or Custom installation. Choose Custom if do not want to install one or more of the client install points. After specifying which install type to perform, UCSETUP creates the directories for each client in the directory specified previously.

At any time, you can run UCSETUP to add, remove, reinstall, or remove all of the client install point components.
