Chapter 2 - Installation and Configuration
MGC Personal Scheduler Software Installation
The Administrator has the option to automatically deploy the Personal Scheduler Client by installing the Client automatically or enable user to manually install the Client on the hard disk. The Administrator of MGC Personal Scheduler Client can enable the user to install the Client in one of two ways:
•Attach the ClientInstall Version 8.0 folder in an E-mail enabling the user to save the folder to disk. The user then installs MGC Personal Scheduler by double clicking setup.exe icon in the folder. For further information, “Deploying the Client Application” on page 2-2.
•Alternatively, send the link of a folder located on the network in an E- mail. To install Personal Scheduler, the user double-click’s the setup.exe icon.
When the MGC Personal Scheduler is configured by the administrator, the Client application is deployed on the network by sending out an e- mail with an shortcut as an attachment. Users open this self-extracting file which automatically installs the MGC Personal Scheduler on their computer. The Installation Wizard guides you through the installation process of the Personal Scheduler software.
In version 8.0 the Visual Configuration file is automatically backed up. This allows you to re-install the MGC Personal Scheduler without losing your configurations. It is recommended to close Microsoft Outlook during the Client installation. The MGCScheduler.oft file is automatically backed up in the CustomizeMGCSchedule.oft file located in the ClientInstall folder. If Personal Scheduler is installed as part of the Polycom WebCommander package, the WebCommander server requirements must also be met. For more information, see the MGC Web Server Manager Installation and Configuration Guide.
Deploying the Client Application
After Personal Scheduler is configured by the Administrator, the Client application is deployed by sending out an e-mail with an attached shortcut. End-users open this self-extracting file which automatically installs Personal Scheduler on their computers.
To e-mail the Client application shortcut:
1.Create a new e-mail message.
The New E-mail Message window opens.
