Installing Management Station Software on Microsoft Windows
Operating Systems
NOTE: IT Assistant is not a supported feature for the 64-bit versions
of both Windows Server 2003 Standard and Windows Server 2003
Enterprise Editions.
NOTE: IT Assistant installation is not supported on systems with
systems management software prior to version 4.3. If version 4.2 or an
earlier version (>=3.0) of the systems management software is
installed on your system, you cannot directly upgrade to version 5.1.
To preserve your settings, you must upgrade to version 4.3, and then
you can upgrade to version 5.1 for the latest software updates.
Version 4.3 is available on the Dell support site at support.dell.com.
NOTE: A fresh installation of IT Assistant 8.0 prompts you to install
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition in the absence of a
supported database on your system. SQL Server 2005 Express Edition
can be installed using your Systems Management Consoles CD
before installing the management station software. However,
IT Assistant works with Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine
(MSDE 2000) or SQL Server 2000, if it is already installed on your
system. If you are upgrading from IT Assistant 7.x to 8.0, you can use
the existing MSDE 2000 or SQL Server 2000.
