Package Definition Files

The package definition files (SMS format) are used by Microsoft Systems Management Server to install Office remotely. For Office XP, the package definition files have been consolidated into two core files: Off2002.SMS, which covers all product suites, and LPK2002.SMS, which covers the Office XP Multilingual User Interface Packs. Office XP supports only Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0.

Install the Package Definition Files

The Package Definition files are automatically installed on your computer when you install the Office Resource Kit. To locate the tool, click the Start button, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Office Tools, point to Microsoft Office XP Resource Kit Tools, and then click Package Definition Files.

The Package Definition Files can also be downloaded from the Toolbox on the Office Resource Kit Web site at http://www.microsoft.com/office/ork.
