4. Run netsvcinst /install /inf:"c:\program files\common files\lenovo\pfdinst\netsf_m.inf"

/cid:"lgl_tvtpktfiltermp".

Server infrastructure

The administrator must establish network shares for a repository or provide a FTP or HTTP site. An additional
repository may be needed for fixes and patches.

Simple system test – display notification

Write a go.rrs script on any machine where Antidote Delivery Manager has been installed. Include a line
MSGBOX /MSG "Hello World" /OK. Run the command from the command prompt to make sure it works as
desired. Then run the APKGMSG command on the directory containing go.rrs to create a message. Place
the message file in one of the repository directories on your machine and observe correct operation.

Deployment

Complete the following steps prior to deploying Antidote Delivery Manager:

1. Determine locations for the mailboxes:

• Mailboxes are defined as directories on network shares, a local system on a harddrive, or removable

media, or on a FTP or HTTP site.

You might find it helpful to have multiple mailboxes in case one is not accessible. You can define

up to ten mailbox locations.

Network-based mailboxes should be read-only for clients and write access should be restricted.

2. Set up repositories in the registry:

On a donor system with the Rescue and Recovery program installed, edit the registry at

HKLM\Software\Lenovo\Rescue and Recovery\ADM.

Change the following settings in the preceding key:

"mailbox"=

and then add your mailbox directory information. Mailboxes on the local drive, for example would
look like this:

"mailbox"=C:\ADM\Mailbox;\\Machine\Share\Directory

Mailboxes on an FTP site would look like this:

ftp://userid:password@ftpserver/mailbox

Mailboxes on a shared network drive would look like this:

\\Machine\Share\Directory

Notes:

a. HTTPS is not supported for mailbox functions.

b. The HTTP Web server must be configured to deliver indexing turned on and list files capability.

Drive letters may change between Windows Professional Edition and your normal operating system
environment. The C: drive is most likely to change. To work around this, use the environment variable
CUSTOS which always points to the drive containing the typical customer operating system. The
preceding example would change to:
