Installing Managed System Software On
Microsoft Windows Operating Systems
On Microsoft Windows, an autorun utility is displayed when you insert the
Systems Management Tools and
Documentation
DVD. This utility allows you to choose the systems management software you want to install on the
system.
If the autorun program does not start automatically, use the autorun program from the DVD root or the setup program in
the
SYSMGMT\srvadmin\windows directory on the Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD. See the
Systems Software Support Matrix for a list of operating systems currently supported.
NOTE: Use the
Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD to perform an unattended and scripted silent
installation of the managed system software. Install and uninstall the features from the command line.
Deployment Scenarios For Server Administrator
You can install Server Administrator in the following ways:
• Install the Server Administrator Web Server on any system (laptop, or desktop) and the Server Instrumentation
on another supported system.
In this method, the Server Administrator Web Server performs the function of a central web server and you can
use it to monitor a number of managed systems. Using this method reduces the Server Administrator footprint on
the managed systems.
• Continue to install the Server Administrator Web Server and the Server Instrumentation on the same system.
The following table lists the deployment scenarios for installing and using Server Administrator and helps you make the
right choice while selecting the various installation options:
