Installation Guide

Before Installation

Be sure to read this page before installing this product.

♦Security settings – Setting up the NEC ESMPRO User Group

To make the applications run on the management PC have proper access rights, the NEC ESMPRO User Group is

needed. The NEC ESMPRO User Group name should be determined during the installation. The Manager setup

names it "Administrators" by default.

If you want to specify another user group name, you must create it before installing the NEC ESMPRO Manager and

specify the group name during installation. The NEC ESMPRO User Group is case sensitive.

Also, to make this security feature function effectively, install the NEC ESMPRO Manager on a hard drive formatted

with NTFS.

When you create the NEC ESMPRO User Group as a global group, make sure that there is no local group

having the same name. Also, when you install the NEC ESMPRO Manager on a Backup Domain Controller,

you must create it as a global group.

♦Confirming the disk space required for operation

Prepare sufficient free space in the folder you specified at installation. By default, the installation folder is "¥Program

Files¥ESMPRO" on the system drive.

The following files are added at operation. See them before you calculate the required disk space.

 Managed server

About 10KB of disk space is required per managed server.

Moreover, when the IPMI information is collected, maximum of 60KB of disk space is required.

 Alert

About 1KB of disk space is required per alert.

♦Setting access permissions

When installing the NEC ESMPRO Manager in an already existing folder, the NEC ESMPRO Manager will not operate

unless the access permissions required for the NEC ESMPRO Manager operation have been set.

When installing the NEC ESMPRO Manager in a folder that does not exist, the following access permissions are set by

the installer:

Administrators Full Control(All)(All)

Everyone Read(RX)(RX)

SYSTEM Full Control(All)(All)

If you specified a user group other than the default (Administrators) as the NEC ESMPRO User Group at the

installation, Full Control access permissions will be set for it.
