Note: The PSV Director relies on a service packaged with Windows, called the "Remote Registry Service". In Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, this service is enabled and started by default. In Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008/R2, Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, the service is not started by default. So in order for the PSV Director to be able to access computers running these operating systems, this service must be started on each of the remote computers.

PSV Director is just one tool that can be used to "push" the Agents out to remote clients. If your IT organization uses your own tools to install and update client computers, you can certainly use those tools to install and maintain the PSV Agent as well. The Agent is not included in the PrintSuperVision Enterprise Edition installation package but can be downloaded separately from www.okidata.com PSV Assistant For Parallel Port connected Oki devices you will need to use the PSV Assistant. The Assistant is available as a download from www.okidata.com.
