Installing EasyManage software
You can install the ThinkServer
™
EasyManage Core Server program from the
EasyManage CD or you can download and install the program from
http://www.lenovo.com/support. After one instance of the EasyManage Core Server
has been installed, you can use the EasyManage Agent installer to install the agent
on other servers and clients on the network.
Also, the EasyManage program provides an option to either install the EasyManage
Agent as part of the operating-system installation process or install a desktop icon
to assist with the installation of the EasyManage Core Server after the operating
system has been installed.
Installation requirements
Before installing EasyManage software on your server, your environment must meet
the following requirements:
v Microsoft
®
Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008 is installed on the
server where you intend to install the Core Server.
v The original Windows Server operating-system installation CDs are available in
case files are needed while installing the prerequisites.
v The server has Internet access to obtain prerequisites and to activate the
software after the installation is complete.
v The server has a static IP address.
v The server is not a domain controller. However, it is recommended to have the
server join a domain.
v The account that you use to log in and to install the Core Server has
Administrator privileges on the server with full read/write access. Ideally, this
account is also a Domain Administrator account. This account will be used to
create the initial administrator-level account used to log in to the EasyManage
console.
v Any previous agent from EasyManage or LANDesk must be removed prior to
installing the Core Server and Management Console.
