Preparing to Install Policy Manager
Before installing Policy Manager, you must set up the domain network and user accounts.
Network Requirements
Policy Manager is not network administration software and does not provide any tools for setting
up a network, adding computer names, instrument or user accounts. These areas are outside the
scope of this document. The following prerequisites are part of general network setup steps and
must be completed before installing Policy Manager:
• A network domain, using a Windows server 2003 domain controller must be in place.
• Both the computer server where you are installing Policy Manager, and all Intellex units, must
be connected to the domain where you plan to install Policy Manager.
• All users who will access video from Intellex and/or Network Client, including administrators
using Policy Manager Admin Client to administer Intellex security, must have user accounts
on the domain.
Caution
Do not install Policy Manager server software on the domain controller.
Do not install Policy Manager server or Admin Client software on Intellex.
When installing Network Client on the Policy Manager client machine, install Network Client first. This
brings up the login screen to access Intellex units under advanced security.
Minimum Hardware Requirements
In addition to your existing network, the following computers and instruments are required:
Note
Keep operating systems current with the latest security updates from Microsoft.
Use high-speed network interface cards in a private network.
