Time and Date Requirements
Before you install CSA MC, make sure that the system to which you plan install
the software has the correct and current time, date, and time zone settings. If these
settings are not current, you will encounter MC/agent certificate issues.
Port Availability
CSA MC acts as a web server and requires that no other web server software is
running on the CSA MC system. Having multiple web servers running on the
same system causes port conflicts.
Caution By default, Windows 2003 has the World Wide Web Publishing service running.
If the CSA MC installation detects this service running, the CSA MC installation
will disable all Web publishing services in order for its own installation to
proceed.
