DB2 Version 10.1 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

Distributed installation support with Microsoft Systems Management Server has been discontinued (Windows)

Support to install DB2® products across a network, and set up the installation from a central location using Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) has been discontinued.

Details

In Version 10.1, you can perform distributed installations of DB2 products using Microsoft Systems Center Configuration Manager (SCCM).

In previous releases, you could perform distributed installations using Microsoft Systems Management Server. However, Microsoft has ended support of SMS.

Resolution

Use SCCM to perform distributed installations instead. For details, see the SCCM documentation at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc507089.aspx.
