In the Speech Server Administrator console, a computer running the Speech Server service is called a server. If you add a server to a deployment group, you can configure and manage the Speech Server settings for that server. Removing the server from the group deletes the console access to the Speech Server settings for that server.

You can only add servers on which Speech Server is installed and that are accessible from the computer running the Speech Server Administrator console. You cannot use the Speech Server Administrator console to manage and configure Speech Server that is installed on a computer running Microsoft Windows XP or Windows Vista. Only computers running Speech Server and Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 or later can be managed with the Administrator console.

Note

You must be a member of the local Administrator group on the computer you are adding to the Speech Server Administrator console.
