The Manage Distribution window
The Task Delegate Administration utility
* 
The instructions provided here assume that you are familiar with these utilities.
Preference Management Utility
The Preference Management utility allows users to view and set preferences, such as display and search options, to enhance their Windchill experience, and allows administrators to view and set preferences for various application contexts, such as projects, products or organizations. For more information on using the Preference Management utility see Preference Management.
Manage Distribution
This utility allows you to create, edit or delete a distribution target (which is essentially an ESITarget object) in Windchill. For more information see Managing Distribution Targets.
Delegate Administration Utility
The standard Remote Procedure Call (RPC) definitions that are used by Windchill ESI are created during the installation process. RPC definitions are stored in the LDAP directory that was created when Info*Engine was installed. The RPC definitions can be accessed using the Info*Engine Property Administration utility or an LDAP browser.
For more information on how to customize Windchill Integration for MES, see the Introduction to ERP Connector.

You do not need to use this utility unless you are customizing your environment and would want to create one or more custom Remote Procedure Call (RPC) definitions.
