Remote Installation Using SMS

A remote installation using SMS consists of the following steps:
  1. Perform an administrative installation to copy Personal Communications installation files to the network (see Administrative Installation).
  2. Create an SMS package containing the Personal Communications installation software.
  3. Create an SMS job to distribute and install the software package.
Note: Personal Communications provides a sample SMS file, IBM Personal Communications.sms, for use in creating the SMS package. You can also create your own SMS file. An SMS file is the same as a Package Definition File (PDF) used in previous versions of Microsoft SMS.

For detailed and up-to-date instructions on installing and deploying Personal Communications using SMS, refer to the SMS product documentation provided at http://www.microsoft.com/smsmgmt.
