Administrator Guide for SAS 9.1.3 Foundation for Microsoft Windows 27
Using the SAS Administrator Wizard
The SAS Administrator Wizard is a tool that helps administrators perform the tasks that are
required when SAS is deployed throughout an organization.
These tasks include the creation of a Server (for Client Users) and/or a Network Location (for
Personal Users and CD distribution). In addition, the SAS Administrator Wizard can be used
to obtain customer-specific data such as SETINIT data from a SAS e-mail for distribution in
an organization.
Starting the SAS Administrator Wizard
There are several ways to start the SAS Administrator Wizard. Here are three of them:
1. From AutoPlay on the SAS Setup Disk, choose Create a SAS Image for Deployment.
2. From the SAS Software Navigator, choose Create a SAS Image for Deployment.
3. From the SAW directory, run setup.exe
