How to Prepare the Endpoint Management Server

Before you install CA ControlMinder Endpoint Management, you need to prepare the server.

Important! If you intend to install CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management on the same computer, you do not need to follow these steps. The installation program installs CA ControlMinder Endpoint Management as part of CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management installation.

To prepare the Endpoint Management server, do the following:

1. Install a supported Java Development Kit (JDK).

   Note: You can find prerequisite third-party software on the CA ControlMinder Third Party Components DVDs. For information about supported versions, see the Release Notes.

2. Install a supported JBoss version.

   We recommend that you run JBoss as a service. (daemon on UNIX).

   Note: You can find prerequisite third-party software on the CA ControlMinder Third Party Components DVDs. For information about supported versions, see the Release Notes.

3. Install CA ControlMinder.

   Note: Follow the instructions for installing a CA ControlMinder endpoint.

4. (Windows only) Restart the computer.
5. Stop CA ControlMinder services (secons -s).

   The server is now ready for CA ControlMinder Endpoint Management to be installed.
