Introduction This guide provides instructions for installing the software associated with Scan to PC Desktop in a network environment. Targeted users are administrators, Information Technology specialists or programmers who set up or perform network installations. It assumes the reader is familiar with Microsoft Windows 2000/2003 Server with Active Directory or with Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS), in addition to program package setup, advertising and distribution.
Scan to PC Desktop software components Scan to PC Desktop is delivered in two CD-ROM variants: Special Edition and Professional Edition. These two editions of Scan to PC Desktop comprise different software products from ScanSoft. All the installers of these software components support MSI (Windows Installer-based) distribution. Software components for Special Edition CD-ROM: Software component 1 2 3 PaperPort 10.0 SE OmniPage SE 3.0 Image Retriever 5.
Windows 2000/2003 Server with Active Directory Support Active Directory is a feature of Windows 2000 Advanced Server and Windows 2003 Server. Group Policy, a component of Active Directory, includes a Software Installation snap-in that enables an administrator to create a network installation. The administrator can use this feature to install software to Windows 2000 and Windows XP clients only. The snap-in cannot be used to install software to clients with older versions of the Windows operating system.
Systems Management Server Support Systems Management Server (SMS) provides a mechanism for pushing application installations out from the server to client systems. SMS supports the following versions of Windows: Windows 95, 98, Me, NT 4.0, 2000, and XP when installing products that use Windows Installer (MSI) technology. SMS requires a client application to be installed on all client machines. The software components of Scan to PC Desktop were tested using SMS version 2.0 with Service Pack 4.
Creating administrative images This section describes how to create administrative images of the software components of Scan to PC Desktop onto the network. Such an administrative installation will extract the necessary files into a network location specified during the installation. This location is also known as a Software Distribution Point. An administrative installation will not install any program files.
3. If applicable, select a language for the administrative installation (not necessary if setup language was specified in the command line). 4. During installation, specify a target network location for the administrative image to be created. 5. Share this location (Software Distribution Point). Software components and their installer locations for the Special Edition: Software component Installer location on the CD-ROM Command 1 2 3 PaperPort 10.0 SE OmniPage SE 3.0 Image Retriever 5.
Deployment - Active Directory This section describes how to install the software components of Scan to PC Desktop onto c l i e nt s ’s y s t e msus i ngAc t i veDi r e c t or y . Prerequisites A working Active Directory environment. A Software Distribution Point (with administrative images of the software components) A deployment target computer that is a member of a domain, site, or organizational unit.

Deployment steps This procedure describes how to install a given component of Scan to PC Desktop. You must repeat the steps below, as many times as many software component installations are needed. 1. Open Administrative Tools\Active Directory Users and Computers, select the object, then a domain, site, or organization unit. Create a Group Policy Object as follows: a. Right-click the domain or the selected container. b. Select Properties, click the Group Policy tab, select New, and then name the new policy.
Note: When installing PDF Converter 1.3, the addition of the transform file "ScanSoft PDF Converter.mst" is also required. f. Close the dialog box, and then select Software Installation. The settings for the installation package will be displayed on the right side of the screen, and the component will be installed to the targeted client systems upon their restart. The installation is a "silent install" and is installed for all users on the specified computer.
Microsoft introduced a new feature in Windows XP called Fast Logon Optimization. This feature will typically log the user in quickly even off the network. This causes software installation via group policy to sometimes take many reboots to actually install managed software (you must reboot at least once after the group policy change just to refresh the policy on the local machine plus once to install the software.
