Preparing Server for VMS Installation
2-10 VMS User Guide
Stopping Previous VMS Version (Upgrade)
If you are installing VMS on a server which does not have a previous version of
VMS installed, skip this “Stopping Previous VMS Version (Upgrade)” section
and proceed with the instructions in the section “VMS Server Installation” on
page 2-14.
Caution: If a prior version of VMS is installed and running on the server, you
must first stop, then uninstall, this prior version as described in the
following procedure.
Caution: Stopping VMS does not change the configuration of the server. Refer
to Appendix D, “Domain Controller and DNS” for detailed instructions.
If there is an earlier version of VMS installed on the server, use the following
procedure to stop VMS before proceeding with the new installation.
1. Right-click in the Windows status bar and select Task Manager from the
pop-up menu. The Windows Task Manager window will appear.
2. From the Processes tab, scroll down the list to find the three VMS processes
that are running—VConMgr.exe, viperview.exe, and VOS.exe, as shown in
figure 2-8.
