The Create Secondary Site Wizard

The Create Secondary Site Wizard guides you through the steps necessary to create a new secondary site. As you complete the wizard, you will be prompted for the following information:

Site code
The SMS site code for the new secondary site.
Site name
Up to 50 ASCII characters specifying the name of the new secondary site.
Site server
The name of the Windows NT computer that will become the new secondary site server.
Site server domain

Processor platform
The processor chip architecture (such as Intel x86 or Alpha) of the Windows NT computer that will become the new secondary site server.
Installation directory
The full path (drive and directory) where SMS files will be installed on the new secondary site server. The default is C:\SMS.
The location of the installation source files.
You must choose one of the following:
Transfer installation source files from parent site server over the network connection
Select this option when the secondary site does not have an administrator who can perform the upgrade, when the secondary site does not have direct access to the SMS 2.0 installation files, or when the impact on intersite bandwidth is not a concern.
Installation source files are on the secondary site server
Select this option when the Systems Management Server version 2.0 compact disc (or an image of that compact disc) is available at the secondary site and you want to minimize the impact on intersite bandwidth.
SMS Service account
An existing account (the wizard does not create it) to be used as the SMS Service account on the new secondary site.
Address to secondary site
The address that the primary site will use to reach the secondary site. The sender type (Standard or RAS) is specified with the address.
Address to primary site
The address the secondary site will use to reach the primary site. The sender type (Standard or RAS) is specified with the address.

Note   Different sender types can be used for these two addresses.
