To install the SMS 2003 SP3 Administrator Console on a machine that has no previous version of the Admin Console installed:

  1. Double-click “autorun.exe” on the SMS media.

  2. Click “SMS 2003 Service Pack 3” on the “Systems Management Server 2003 Service Pack 3 Setup” screen. Setup will initialise.

  3. Click “Next >” on the “Welcome to the Microsoft Systems Management Server Setup Wizard” screen.

  4. Click “Next >” on the “System Configuration” screen.

  5. Select the “Install the SMS Administrator console and related tools” radio button on the “Setup Options” screen then click “Next >”.

  6. Select the “I Agree” radio button on the “Systems Management Server License Agreement” screen if you are in agreement with the license agreement then click “Next >”. The “Next >” will not become available and setup cannot continue unless you click the “I Agree” radio button.

  7. Type the name of the SMS Site Server you wish to connect to in the “SMS site server name:” field on the “SMS Site Server Information” screen then click “Next >”.

  8. Click “Next >” on the “SMS Administrator Console Installation Options” screen if you want to accept the default installation directory.  If you want to change the drive/ directory where the Admin Console will be installed click the “Change Directory” button and select the drive/ directory you wish to install the Admin Console to then click “OK”. Then click “Next >” on the “SMS Administrator Console Installation Options” screen.

    TIP: If you want to change the installation simply click in the “Path:” field and change it as if you use the “Drives:” dropdown it defaults to changing the installation to the root of that drive which is unsupported (so you then need to add “SMSADMIN” to the end of the path.

  9. Click “Finish” on the “Completing the Systems Management Server Setup Wizard” screen.  Various progress screens are displayed as the files and components are installed.

  10. Click “OK” on the “Systems Management Server Setup Wizard” dialog box.

  11. The SMS Administrator Console is now installed. To load it navigate to “Start | All Programs | Systems Management Server | SMS Administrator Console”.
