Windows 2003 VSS

I would like to enable VSS onthe server, I found this link.
http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/Windows-Server-2003-Volume-Shadow-Copy-Service.html

We have over 1000 users and I would like to know how to deal to the second half part mentioned in the link regarding how to setup workstations to use VSS.

<<<The other thing that you must do is to configure your workstations so that they can access the shadow copy files. To do so, you must create a network share on your server that allows clients to access the server’s %SYSTEMROOT%\TWCLIENT\X86 folder. >>>>>

Thanks

You can use group policy to deploy the client to the workstations and install it automatically.

That's what I did. I don't have as many users as you but it has worked fine for me.
