Exporting from MTS

  1. In the MTS explorer of the computer from which you want to export the proxy, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
  2. On the Options tab, under Remote Server name, type the name of the server where you want the package to run.
  3. Export the package.
  4. Run the .exe file that is created under the client's folder on the client computer.

Exporting from Component Services

  1. In Component Services of the computer from which you want to export the proxy, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
  2. On the Options tab, under Application Proxy RSN, type the name of the server where you want the package to run.
