Table A-1 lays out the installation features of Visio 2003, most of which are primarily of interest to information technology professionals who are responsible for installing software for organizations.
Feature | Description |
---|---|
Systems Management Server (SMS) deployment | Support for SMS simplifies installation. You can deploy Visio 2003 to selected personal computers on the local network and at remote sites. |
Improvements to Windows Terminal Server installation | Windows Terminal Server is an extension to the Windows NT and Windows 2000 Server product line that allows multiple, concurrent users to access Visio in a secure Windows environment through terminal emulation. Among the improvements is faster performance time for users of Visio. |
Install on demand | You can defer installing features until you need them. Later, if Visio detects that a particular feature is needed, it displays a message so that you can install the feature immediately—without restarting the product. |
Self-repair | If Visio encounters a missing, corrupted, or unreadable file, it can repair the defect. Visio reinstalls the failed component automatically from the original source of the installation. |
Group Policy support | Through Group Policy support, you can now secure registry settings for Visio 2003 so that users cannot change Visio behavior. |
