Installation

[Top]  [Previous]  [Next]  

NetMan Desktop Manager has a server component and a client component, the NetMan Client. The chapter entitled "Installation" shows you the procedures necessary for installing both components.

 

warning The server component and the NetMan Client software have to be installed on a Windows operating system.

 

Which procedures you need to follow when installing NetMan Desktop Manager depends on your particular scenario:

You have a stand-alone Remote Desktop Session Host: Install the NetMan Desktop Manager server component directly on the Session Host. Install the client component, called NetMan Client, on all client stations that run Windows and will be working within the NetMan Desktop Manager system.

You have several Session Hosts: Install NetMan Desktop Manager on a separate file server. Install NetMan Client on all Session Hosts as well as on all client stations that will be working within the NetMan Desktop Manager system.

You use thin clients: You need a Session Host on which NetMan Client is installed. The thin clients use NetMan Desktop Manager in a remote desktop session running on that Session Host.

You are using a XenApp Server: Install NetMan Client additionally on the XenApp Server.

 

The NetMan Desktop Manager server component is installed in the server console and requires 1 GB available space on the server. The NetMan Desktop Manager databases will grow over time. Thus we recommend reserving at least 10 GB disk space on the NetMan Desktop Manager server for the databases. For details on installing the NetMan Desktop Manager server component, see "Install Server Component".

For details on how to license your NetMan Desktop Manager program, see "Register NetMan".

The NetMan Client installation requires approximately 50 MB of available space and Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6.0 or later. For details on installing the NetMan Client, see "Install NetMan Client".

A handy tool is included in NetMan Desktop Manager NetMan Client Distributor. With the NetMan Client Distributor you can rollout the NetMan Client from a central position in the network to the desired client stations of your choice. Prerequisite is that the client stations have a functional network connection and a Windows operating system installation. For details on using the NetMan Client Distributor, see "NetMan Client Distributor".
