How to Manually Install Client Programs on a Computer Running Small Business Server (239641)

MORE INFORMATION

It is highly recommended that you install the client programs automatically with Microsoft BackOffice Server, but there may be situations when you want to manually install the client programs.

To manually install the client programs:

1. Create the ClientApps folder on the root of the system drive (usually C:\ClientApps). The following NTFS file system permissions are default settings for the ClientApps folder during normal Setup. Make sure the following permissions are applied:

      Administrators:    Full Control
      Creator Owner:     Full Control
      Domain Admins:     Full Control
      Domain Users:      Read
      Everyone:          Full Control
      Server Operators:  Change
      System:            Full Control
   					

2. Share the ClientApps folder as ClientApps with share permissions set to Everyone Full Control.
3. Copy the MS folder and all subfolders and files from the SBSClients folder on SBS 4.5 CD-ROM 3 to the ClientApps folder. This process copies the Fax client, the Modem Sharing client, Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4, and the SBS Client tools to the server.
4. Create a folder named Office in the ClientApps\MS folder. Create subfolders under office named cd1 and cd2 (cd2 is only needed if you are installed Office 2000).
5. Perform an administrative installation of Microsoft Outlook 2000 or Microsoft Office 2000 (depending on the version of SBS 4.5 that is installed) by typing the following command:
   
   setup /a
   (setup /a for Disk 1 and setup /a for Disk 2 if you are running Office2000)
6. When you are prompted for the Office CD Key, type the Product Key located on the back of the CD case.
7. When you are prompted for the installation path, browse to the ClientApps\MS\Office\CD1 or CD2 folder.
8. After Office Setup is finished, verify the following two registry keys and entries (create these entries if needed):
   • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\BackOffice\SBSClients There are two values associated with this key:

     Value: Client Applications
     Type: REG_SZ
     Data: {F7A6A827-AADD-11D1-AE92-0000F875A98A}
     
     Value: ParentDirectory
     Type: REG_SZ
     Data: drive:\ClientApps (where drive is the driver letter)

   • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\SBSClients There are two values associated with this key:

     Value: DisplayName
     Type: REG_SZ
     Data: Small Business Server Client Applications
     
     Value: UninstallString
     Type: REG_SZ
     Data: drive:\Program Files\Microsoft BackOffice\ClientAR.exe
