2 Preparing for Installation
This chapter contains the pre-installation requirements you must complete to prepare the
environment for WDM installation and configuration. After you have completed all
pre-installation requirements, you can continue with the installation/upgrade you want
("Installing or Upgrading WDM Workgroup Edition" or "Installing or Upgrading WDM
Enterprise Edition").
Pre-Installation Checklist
Before you begin installing WDM, be sure you have met the following requirements:
• Obtain and configure all hardware and software, as necessary (see "Hardware
Requirements" and "Software Requirements"). CAUTION: It is highly recommended
that you do not install WDM on any server which is currently dedicated to other tasks
(such as a Domain Controller, Backup Controller, Mail Server, Production Web Server,
DHCP Server, MSMQ Server, Application Server, and so on). It is highly recommended
that WDM be installed on a server that is dedicated to WDM services.
• Install a supported operating system on the machine to which WDM will be installed.
Be sure that all systems are up-to-date with current Microsoft service packs, patches,
and updates (see "Software Requirements").
• Install Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) 6.0 or later on all machines.
• Use of the built-in HTML help files requires Java to be installed on all machines to
which you install the WDM Administrators Console (MMC Snap-in). Visit
http://www.java.com
and install the latest Java/JRE version for your operating system).
• If you will be running IIS 7.0 on Windows Server 2008 SP1 or IIS 7.5 on either
Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7, be sure to update the HAgent on your devices
as follows to ensure your devices are discovered by WDM (otherwise, IIS limitations
may prevent discovery):
· Devices running CE .NET require HAgent v4.7.1.2
· ThreadX (P20) devices require v3.5 (firmware version)
· Devices running Linux v6 require HAgent v4.2.0-2.0
· Devices running Wyse Enhanced SUSE Linux require HAgent v4.3.94-00.04
CAUTION: Upgrading WDM Agents is supported on SUSE Linux Enterprise
Desktop 11 and 11 SP1; it is not supported on SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10.
· Devices running Wyse Enhanced Ubuntu Linux require HAgent v4.3.90
· Devices running WES 2009 require HAgent v5.1.2.4
· Devices running WES 7 require HAgent v6.0.0.24 or later
· Devices running Wyse ThinOS require v7.0_213 or later (firmware version)
· Devices running XPe require HAgent v5.1.2.4
• Ensure that no other applications requiring IIS are running on the machine to which
WDM will be installed.
• Ensure that all required communications ports are available and open for proper
communication between servers, routers, and switches (see "Communication Port
Requirements").
