Verify the SQLXML Version
SQLXML provides client-side XML functionality and enhancements to existing SQL features. SQLXML 4.0
SP1 is installed with SQL Server 2008 R2. Verify that the correct version is installed.
Procedure
1. Click Start and click Control Panel.
2. Click Programs and select Programs and Features.
3. Verify that SQLXML 4.0 SP1 appears in the list of installed programs.
4. If SQLXML 4.0 SP1 does not appear, install it from the Microsoft Download Center.
What to do next
Configure the Web components of the VCM Collector. See "Configure the Web Components" on page 41.
Configure the Web Components
The Web components of the VCM Collector contain Web applications such as IIS and SQL Server
Reporting Services (SSRS), other services, and VCM software components. Before you install VCM, you
must configure the Web components of the VCM Collector.
Verify that the IIS 7.5 default Web site has the correct settings, download and install the command line
utilities, and confirm that you can access the report server.
Procedure
1. Click Start and select All Programs > Administrative Tools > Internet Information Services (IIS)
Manager.
2. Expand <server name>, expand Sites, and click Default Web Site.
3. In the Default Web Site Home pane, locate the IIS options.
4. Double-click Authentication and set the authentication.
Option Action
Anonymous
Authentication
Normally set to Enabled.
ASP.NET
Impersonation
Normally set to Disabled.
Basic Authentication Set to Enabled in split installations when you are not using Kerberos.
Forms Authentication Set to Disabled.
5. Download and install SQL Server 2008 R2 Command Line Utilities, which includes the SQLCMD utility,
X64 Package (SqlCmdLnUtils.msi).
The SQL Command Line Tools in the SQLServer 2008 R2 Feature Pack are required. This component is
used on the VCM Collector in a split installation so that the VCM Patching service can access SQL
Server when downloading patch content. If full SQL Server management tools are installed, the
command line utilities are needed, because SQLCMD is part of SQL Server management tools.
6. To verify that you can access the Report Server main page, connect to http://localhost/reports.
If UAC has not been disabled, you must start Internet Explorer as Administrator.
