I am new to the SMS server and want to create a Skpswi.dat file so that my software scan will skip some of my larger servers. &nbsp;I have to do this in the next day so this is an emergency.<br />
<br />
I read about using the dat file on Microsoft support (so please dont refer me to the knowledge base), but no one says exactely how to make the Skpswi.dat and how to put it into the root of the drive.<br />
<br />
Can anyone who has done this walk me step by step through the process?<br />
<br />
Thanks!

Creating Skpswi.dat file

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
