Job Management Partner 1/Software Distribution Administrator Kit Description and Operator's Guide
When you use an installation set for a file server, perform the following procedure.
To execute Client Tool in an installation set for a file server:
- Find the directory containing the installation set in the shared directory of the file server.
- Execute dminst.exe in the directory containing the installation set.
If you want to copy Client Tool to the client machine, copy both dminst.exe and dminst.sci in the same directory. When the client machine OS is Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 or Windows Vista, also copy dminst.exe.manifest into the same directory.
When you execute dminst.exe, the installation of JP1/Software Distribution Client begins. Note that the Specify Connection Destination dialog box is displayed during installation only when you select Specify when installing Software Distribution Client in the Connection Destination page in creating the installation set. When this dialog box is displayed, determine the higher connection destination according to the instructions in the dialog box. When the installation of JP1/Software Distribution Client is completed, a completion dialog box is displayed and it disappears automatically after a while.
- Note
- When you create an installation set with the setting to map a new network drive and you execute Client Tool in that installation set, the mapped network drive might not be disconnected even after JP1/Software Distribution Client is installed. We recommend that you set the read-only attribute for the installation set storage directory in the file server to prevent end users from deleting the installation set by mistake.
The mapped network drive is not reconnected after the system is restarted.
- When you specify the account settings necessary for installation on the Administrator Permissions page, specify the same user name and password that are used for Account for mapping the network drive on the Network Sharing page. If you do not use these values, an error occurs in user authentication, and the installation will fail.
