The program is intended for use on users' workstations. However, an ADSM administrator (typically the person responsible for installing or maintaining the ADSM server) must use the distribution media containing the server program to create diskettes for workstations that intend to use the program. The administrator must also ensure policy is appropriate and that storage space on the server is adequate.
The diskettes created by the administrator must be taken to the workstation where they will be used. Whether the administrator or end users use the diskettes depends on the local situation.
