Preparing the Environment

Custom Installation is often used in environments with higher security procedures, requiring each component of the ObserveIT product to be installed separately and using dedicated service accounts; or in large-scale environments requiring custom modifications of some of the server-side components.

The diagram below shows an example of a file server. This is where the configuration starts.

The following tasks describes how to prepare your Windows Server machines for ObserveIT installation.

• Formatting a Disk for Graphic Images Storage and the Database
• Creating and Sharing the Graphics Image Folders
• Installing Prerequisites for a Custom Installation
• Configuring Windows Firewall
