Can I launch my installation without running the prerequisite checker? How
do I do that?
Yes, you can. For example, you can run the MSI of the managed system software, directly from SYSMGMT
\srvadmin\Windows\SystemsManagement. In general, it is not a good idea to bypass the prerequisite
checker as there could be important information that you would not know otherwise.
How do I know what version of systems management software is installed on
the system?
Navigate to the Windows Control Panel and double-click Add/Remove Programs and select systems
management software. Select the link for support information.
Do I need to reboot the system after upgrading systems management ?
Upgrade may require a reboot if the files to be upgraded are in use. This is a typical Windows installer
behavior. It is recommended that you reboot the system when prompted.
Where can I see the Server Administrator features that are currently installed
on my system?
Navigate to the Windows Control Panel and double-click Add/Remove Programs to view the Server
Administrator features that are currently installed.
