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:

Microsoft

Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008 is installed on the

server where you intend to install the Core Server.

The original Windows Server operating-system installation CDs are available in

case files are needed while installing the prerequisites.

The server has Internet access to obtain prerequisites and to activate the

software after the installation is complete.

The server has a static IP address.

The server is not a domain controller. However, it is recommended to have the

server join a domain.

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.

Any previous agent from EasyManage or LANDesk must be removed prior to

installing the Core Server and Management Console.

Installation order

The order in which you install the operating system and Windows Components is

critical to install EasyManage software successfully. To ensure a clean, working

installation of EasyManage software, use the following installation order:
