Administrator Guide for SAS 9.1.3 Foundation for Microsoft Windows 49
Note: This account will also be used in the creation of System Requirements Wizard and SAS
packages. Be aware that the password for this account will be displayed in the command
line, and is therefore a security risk. It is highly recommended that you change your
password after the packages have been deployed. Another alternative is to create a
temporary administrator account that will be disabled after program deployment.
When the Software Distribution property is configured, the System Requirements Wizard and
SAS packages can be created.
Step 3: SAS and SRW Installation Package Creation
The System Requirements Wizard (SRW) is unique because it must be able to reboot your
system and log back in with a setup ID to install products. For this reason, you pass a login
ID, domain and password along to the setup program when you run the SRW setup.
This is more complicated with SMS because SMS also provides a separate login ID when no
one is logged into the computer. This means that there are two logins used if a system has to
be restarted. The AutoID value given in the Command Line must be the same as the NT
client software installation account. If these values differ, you will put the system in a
perpetual loop, with each login voiding the other and rebooting the system to try to gain
control. This can be fixed only with a registry edit.
