Installing ServerProtect
2-9
Since the Management Console uses TCP/IP to communicate with Information
Servers, it’s easy to manage ServerProtect from any point inside most company
intranets.
Before Installing ServerProtect
As with any server software installation or upgrade, Trend Micro recommends that
this activity be performed when the impact to users is minimal; that is, outside
business hours, and after a full system backup has been completed.
It is also good practice to install the program on a test server first, so that installation
issues, if any, can be worked out before installation on production servers. Before
installing ServerProtect, make sure you carefully read the Installation Scenarios
section. See Installation Scenarios on page 2-4.
Note: You must be logged on with administrator privileges in order to install ServerProtect.
Installing ServerProtect
If you are installing ServerProtect for the first time, Trend Micro recommends
installing a complete ServerProtect package, including the Management Console,
Information Server, and Normal Server.
This section guides you through the ServerProtect installation process.
Installing the Complete ServerProtect Package
To install the complete ServerProtect package, including the Management Console,
Information Server, and Normal Server execute the setup program on a Windows
Server 2003/2000/NT server/workstation computer. Running the setup program from
Windows XP/98/95/Me machines only allows you to install the ServerProtect
Management Console.
To install the complete ServerProtect package:
1. Insert the Enterprise CD-ROM and run SETUP.EXE. The ServerProtect welcome
screen appears.
