DB2 Version 9.7 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

FP4: Distributed installation support with Microsoft Systems Management Server is deprecated (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 deprecated.

Details

Starting with Version 9.7 Fix Pack 4, you can perform distributed installations of DB2 products using the Microsoft Systems Center Configuration Manager (SCCM).

Although you can still perform distributed installations of DB2 products using SMS, you should not use SMS for DB2 product installations as Microsoft has ended its support for this product.

Resolution

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