This chapter contains the pre-installation requirements you must complete to prepare the environment for WDM installation and configuration. After you have completed all pre-installation requirements, you can continue with the installation/upgrade you want ("Installing or Upgrading WDM Workgroup Edition" or "Installing or Upgrading WDM Enterprise Edition").

Pre-Installation Checklist

Before you begin installing WDM, be sure you have met the following requirements:

Obtain and configure all hardware and software, as necessary (see "Hardware Requirements" and "Software Requirements"). CAUTION: It is highly recommended that you do not install WDM on any server which is currently dedicated to other tasks (such as a Domain Controller, Backup Controller, Mail Server, Production Web Server, DHCP Server, MSMQ Server, Application Server, and so on). It is highly recommended that WDM be installed on a server that is dedicated to WDM services.

Install a supported operating system on the machine to which WDM will be installed. Be sure that all systems are up-to-date with current Microsoft service packs, patches, and updates (see "Software Requirements").

Install Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) 6.0 or later on all machines.

Use of the built-in HTML help files requires Java to be installed on all machines to which you install the WDM Administrators Console (MMC Snap-in). Visit http://www.java.com and install the latest Java/JRE version for your operating system).

If you will be running IIS 7.0 on Windows Server 2008 SP1 or IIS 7.5 on either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7, be sure to update the HAgent on your devices as follows to ensure your devices are discovered by WDM (otherwise, IIS limitations may prevent discovery):

·Devices running CE .NET require HAgent v4.7.1.2
