Today, we’re going to wrap up our look at Printing and Document Services with an overview of Distributed Scan Management (DSM). As more scanner devices become network enabled, and automated document workflow processes become more common, administrators need a way to manage these devices on their network. In previous versions of Windows, we did not offer any solutions to manage network scanners, so administrators were forced to used a mish-mash of applications from different hardware vendors to manage the network scanners. In addition, the scanners were not really part of the document workflow process – the administrators would have to start a separate process for document workflows after they acquired the image from the scanner.
