Installation and Configuration
Exporting the Proxy after New Users are Added on Windows XP Service
Pack 2 or Windows Server 2003 SP1
This section describes the required steps to run the PolicyManager AdminClient software on
workstations using Windows XP with SP2 installed.
Configuration
Explanation
Service Pack 2 dramatically alters the security environment of Windows XP. A number of
enhancements have resulted in a superior level of security for the user. Unfortunately, these
changes can affect both software already installed or new software. AdminClient uses COM+
and DCOM services to connect to and receive messages from the server process and these
two areas in particular are affected by SP2. There are two aspects to this problem:
• The client must be able to open a connection to the server process. Here the changes to
COM+ security are checking for machine-wide Launch and Activation permissions for the
current user. It is this check that is failing.
• The server intermittently calls back to the client with information on the current state of the
site. The new Windows Firewall disallows that communication if it is not properly configured.
Solution
Preparing a client proxy export
This part of the process occurs on the server machine. To prepare the client proxy export installer:
1 Create a client installer script from the server.
