Enable ASP.NET
Applicable to Windows Server 2003 installations only.
When SMARTsend is installed to run under Windows Server 2003, ASP.NET must be enabled and 
properly configured on the server. Please consult the Microsoft web site
, for 
ASP.NET installation and configuration instructions. 
Create Administrator, User, and Device Accounts
SMARTsend administrators, users, and the Xerox Multifunction Devices used with SMARTsend must be 
authenticated with a valid Windows account in order to obtain access to the SMARTsend computer. 
The Windows system that hosts SMARTsend can either be a standalone system or a member of a 
domain, but it cannot be a domain controller.
Consider the following issues when determining your site-specific requirements for SMARTsend 
accounts:
All members of the Administrator group on the SMARTsend computer have SMARTsend 
administrative privileges while all members of the Users group have SMARTsend user privileges. 
The computer administrator can use the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) Computer 
Management snap-in to create, view, or modify the accounts that provide access to the 
SMARTsend computer. See 
 on page 30 for instructions.
If you install the SMARTsend on a standalone computer, on a network that does not use a domain, 
or where users are outside of the domain (or its trusted domains), then you must create local 
accounts for the SMARTsend administrators and users.
If you configure the SMARTsend computer as a member of a domain or trusted domain, then the 
domain security group (Domain Users) joins the computer’s Users group by default. If you take no 
further action, all domain members will have access to the SMARTsend site in accordance with 
their existing domain privileges. The domain account provides authorized users with access to 
Note: 
Additional ASP.NET configuration changes are required if the server has been 
upgraded to Windows Server 2003 from a previous installation of Windows 2000 Server or 
Advanced Server. When this is the case, the ASP.NET account must be granted execute 
permission to any files under wwwroot. To implement this change on your Windows 2003 
server, open the wwwroot Properties dialog, then select the Security tab. Next, select the 
account for Everyone, then select the checkbox to Allow Read & Execute. Click Apply to 
save the changes, then click OK as needed to close the configuration dialogs. Perform these 
steps on the Program Files folder also.
Note: 
When SMARTsend is installed on a computer which is not a member of a domain, it is 
recommended that a full backup be made of the host computer after users have been 
created via MMC. In the event of a system crash, such as a hard drive failure, the computer 
should be restored from this full backup. This will ensure that user accounts in SMARTsend 
will continue to match those on the standalone computer.
