PMDF Installation Guide
NT Edition
PMDF-INST-NT-6.0

There are several tasks that should be performed prior to installing PMDF for the first time. These tasks are outlined below.

• Any existing SMTP server must be disabled, so that the PMDF SMTP server may replace it. For instance, Windows 2000 Server and Advanced Server do have a native SMTP server by default. To disable the Windows 2000 Server or Advanced Server native SMTP server:
  • Go to Start Menu, Settings, Control Panel. Once the Control Panel is open, open Administrative Tools and then open Services, select Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP), click STOP and set Startup Type to disabled.
  • Go to Start Menu, Programs, Administrative Tools, Services. Select Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP), click STOP and set Startup Type to disabled.
    
  • You should configure the NT Task Scheduler (also called the Scheduler) so that it is run automatically. Go to the Start Menu, Settings, Control Panel. Once the Control Panel is open, open Administrative Tools and then open Services, select Task Scheduler (or it may be called just Scheduler, depending upon your version of Windows NT), click the Startup buttom and set it to Automatic.
