SUMMARY
This article explains how to set up a shared package of Microsoft Exchange
on a client running Windows NT.
MORE INFORMATION
- Create a source directory for the Microsoft Exchange Windows NT client
setup files (for example, C:\XNTFlat).
- Create a directory called Msapps below the XNTFlat directory (for
example, C:\XNTFlat\Msapps).
- 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.
- From the Microsoft Exchange Administrator program group, run the
Microsoft Exchange Setup Editor. Point the Setup Editor to the
C:\XNTFlat directory.
- 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.
- 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
- 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
- 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.
- 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).
