Distribute the Client Software

As an administrator for your Exchange organization, you distribute the Instant Messaging client software to users and provide them with instructions for logging on to the service.

To distribute the client software:

1. Locate the \Instmsg\I386\Client directory on the Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server CD.
2. Copy the Mmssetup.exe file to a network location that is accessible to your users, such as a server share or a Web page.
3. Instruct users to install the client program by running Mmssetup.exe from the shared location.
4. Provide each user with the following logon information:
   • User Name: Alias@E-mail_Domain (if a SRV resource record is used) or Alias@Instant_Messaging_Domain (if a SRV record is not used)
   • NT Name: User name in the Windows 2000 domain
   • Password: Password

   Alias and Instant_Messaging_Domain are the account name and Instant Messaging domain.
