Internet Information Services

Global Management System is a web-based application built using facilities provided by Micro- soft Internet Information Services (IIS). If you are using Windows 2000, IIS should have been installed by default. If you need to install Internet Information Services, you can through the Add/Remove Program files icon on the Window 2000 Control Panel. IIS 5.0 is available on the Windows 2000 CD.

IIS 6.0 is included on the Windows Server 2003 installation CD, but is not installed by default. To install IIS 6.0 use the “Add or Remove” programs Control Panel. “Internet Information Server” is found in the “Application Server” Component under the “Add\Remove Windows Components” options.

TIP: Don’t change Internet Information Server settings unless it is necessary

Global Management System is designed to operate correctly using a standard installation of Internet Information Services using the default options selected by the IIS setup program. Do not change any web server configuration settings or security settings unless it is necessary. Always test the web server configuration settings before implementation in a production environment.

TIP: Keep the machine in an IT operations facility

The Global Management System server should be located in a secure information services facility rather than in an office or location where it could be inadvertently turned off, unplugged or damaged. The Global Management System user-interface is web-based and can be access using a browser from any desktop, therefore, once the server is setup and configured, there is no reason to use it directly. Ideally, the server should be kept in a locking server rack to prevent tampering or being turned off.

TIP: Use a UPS

An uninterruptible power-supply (UPS) is strongly recommended. In order for services such as call-detail recording, Global Directory accessing, account validating and network status monitor- ing to work effectively, the server must be running at all times. Sudden power-loss to the server will often result in hard-drive corruption.
