You must disable User Account Control if installing on Windows Server 2008. Temporarily disable the
system firewall or any anti-virus software prior to installing, too. Install this software and the wizard will
walk you through initial setup. Dell OpenManage Network Manager installs as a service and starts
automatically. Refer to the User Guide and release notes for additional setup information.
Installation
Installation host—
Log in as an administrative user. An administrative user can write to the
installation target directory. Do
not
log in with user name
admin, administrator
, or a name
that contains spaces on Windows, or as user
root
on Linux
Windows 2012 —
When installing on this platform, right click
win_install.exe
and select
Properties > Compatibility.
Select compatibility mode for Windows 7 /Vista.
Directories—
The source directory should not be the same as installation target directory

Starting Dell OpenManage Network Manager (After installation)
Database Running, Connected—
Make sure your database is running. MySQL installs
automatically as a service (daemon).. Do not install on Linux with MySQL already installed
(uninstall any included MySQL first).
Start Application Server—
If you installed this software as a service and application server is
down, in Windows right-click the startappserver icon, and start application server. This icon
may prematurely indicate application server has started.
Workaround:
Wait a little, and the
application server will catch up to the icon.
When initiated from the tray icon, startup changes its color from red to yellow to green, when
complete. Once the icon has turned green, the web client may display the message “The
server is currently starting up. This page will refresh when the server has fully started.” This
message indicates the application server requires extra time to start. When the message does
occur connect the web browser again after a few minutes.
