SUMMARY
=======
This article describes International Client Packs (ICPs) for Systems Management
Server (SMS).
MORE INFORMATION
================
General Description
-------------------
An ICP is a bundle of SMS client installation files in various languages. ICPs
are targeted for installation on English-language SMS site servers only. The
languages supported in each ICP are cumulative. When you install an ICP, all of
the languages contained in the ICP are installed; you cannot select a specific
language. The ICP installation bundles are then distributed to the clients via
the Client Access Points (CAPs) and the appropriate language files are installed
on the client systems.
ICPs Available by Product Version and Service Pack
--------------------------------------------------
- SMS 1.2: ICP1, ICP2
- SMS 2.0: ICP1, ICP2, ICP3, ICP4, ICP5
- SMS 2.0 Service Pack 1: ICP1, ICP4, ICP5
- SMS 2.0 Service Pack 2: will have ICP1, ICP4, ICP5
Separate ICPs for Each Service Pack
-----------------------------------
You must match service pack and ICP releases (for example, SMS 2.0 SP1 can use
only SP1 ICPs, not SMS 2.0 ICPs).
Languages Included in ICPs
--------------------------
See the Release Notes on the ICP CD-ROM for detailed information about supported
languages. The ICPs and supported languages include:
- ICP1:
English, French, German, Spanish, and Japanese
(Japanese was added to ICP1 for SMS 2.0 SP2)
- ICP2:
ICP1 languages plus Dutch, Italian, and Swedish
- ICP3:
ICP2 languages plus Brazilian, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, and Portuguese
- ICP4:
ICP3 languages plus Czech, Greek, Hungarian, Polish, Russian, Turkish, Korean,
Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese
- ICP5:
ICP4 languages plus Arabic and Hebrew
ICP Languages Are Cumulative
----------------------------
The SMS ICPs are cumulative. Any client language that exists in a previous ICP
also exists in all subsequent releases. For example, ICP5 includes all client
languages that are included with ICP1 and ICP4, in addition to the languages
introduced in ICP5 itself.
Determining If an ICP Is Installed on the SMS Site
--------------------------------------------------
You can determine if an ICP is installed by checking for the language folders
(for example, the 00000409 folder for English and the 00000407 folder for
German) on the site server. There should be a folder for each client languages
supported by that ICP. Check for the I386\<language_id>\smsman.exe)
folders.
Removing an Installed ICP
-------------------------
Currently, SMS does not support removing installed ICPs on the site. Microsoft
recommends that you create a full backup of the site before installing an ICP.
Installing an ICP on a Secondary Site
-------------------------------------
In SMS 2.0 and 2.0 SP1, you can install ICPs on secondary sites only by using the
Upgrade Secondary Site Wizard.
In SMS 2.0 SP2, you can install ICPs from the CD-ROM, remotely (by advertisement
or by using Remote control), or by using Courier Sender.
Multiple-Site Hierarchy and ICP Installation
--------------------------------------------
In a hierarchy that has two regional child primary sites running ICP4 (for
example), both reporting to a central site server that runs the English-language
version, the central site server does not need to be running SP4.
