Question

What are the steps to install NS ActiveX controls on locked-down XP computers?

Answer

In order to pre-install NS ActiveX controls, run the .\Altiris\Notification Server\NSCap\Bin\Win32\X86\NS CAB Installer Package\AltirisNSCABInstaller.exe file. Please also note that this executable will need to be run again if and when NS is upgraded.

Using the -s switch will allow the file to be installed silently.
