Install Guide

NOTE: If you installed Server Administrator in a non-default directory, make sure to change it in Custom Setup as

well.

Once the application is installed, you can uninstall it from Add/Remove Programs.

What do I do when the creation of WinRM listener fails

with the following error message?

The CertificateThumbprint property must be empty when the SSL configuration will be shared

with another service

This error occurs when the Internet Information Server (IIS) is already installed and configured for HTTPS communication. Details about

coexistence of IIS and WinRM is available at technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc782312.aspx.

In this case, use the following command to create a HTTPS Listener with the CertificateThumbprint empty:

winrm create winrm/config/Listener?Address=*+Transport=HTTPS

@{Hostname="<host_name>";CertificateThumbprint=""}

What are the firewall-related configuration that needs to

be done for WinRM?

With firewall turned ON, WinRM must be added to the firewall exclusion list to allow TCP port 443 for HTTPS traffic.

When launching the Systems Management Install, an error

message may display, stating a failure to load a specific

library, a denial of access, or an initialization error. An

example of installation failure during Systems

Management Install is "failed to load OMIL32.DLL." What

do I do?

This is most likely due to insufficient Component Object Model (COM) permissions on the system. To remedy this situation, see the article

support.installshield.com/kb/view.asp?articleid=Q104986

The Systems Management Install may also fail if a previous installation of systems management software or some other software product

was unsuccessful. Delete the following temporary windows installer registry, if present:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\InProgress

I get a misleading warning or error message during

systems management installation.

If you have insufficient disk space on the Windows system drive, you may encounter misleading warning or error messages when you run

systems management Install. Additionally, windows installer requires space to temporarily extract the installer package to the %TEMP%

folder. Ensure that you have sufficient disk space (100 MB or more) on the system drive prior to running systems management Install.
