======================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Systems Management Server version 1.2 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY
=======


Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 Setup is based on an ActiveX engine named Active
Setup, which runs on the client's computer. You can create a custom setup
package without rewriting Internet Explorer 4.0 Setup. To do that, you create a
custom version of IE4setup.exe using the Microsoft Internet Explorer
Administration Kit (IEAK).

After creating an IE4setup.exe file that fits the needs of your organization, you
can use Systems Management Server to deploy that file to your clients. Do not
use the Microsoft Systems Management Server Installer to deploy Internet
Explorer 4.0. For more information about the Internet Explorer Administrator
Kit, review the information on the Microsoft Web site at

   http://ieak.microsoft.com/.

MORE INFORMATION
================

With IEAK, you can create a hands-free customized installation of Microsoft
Internet Explorer 4.0 that fits the needs of your organization. You can use this
kit to accomplish various tasks.

Customize the Setup Program
---------------------------

 - Customize the appearance of the Setup program and configure types of
   installation (such as Standard, Minimal, and Full).

 - Point users to Internet or intranet servers to download the latest product
   versions with Active Setup.

 - Roll out internal programs, custom scripts, or maintenance scripts when your
   users install Internet Explorer.

 - Specify the language version of Internet Explorer to include in the
   installation package. You must run the IEAK wizard once for each language
   version you want to create.
