4 Chapter 2
• WDM requires Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) version 2.8. WDM installs
MDAC 2.8 if it is not already present on the server.
• Ensure you have access to your operating system CD-ROM and your Microsoft
Windows system files for use during your installation. NOTE: During WDM installation
WDM checks the system to determine if all required software is present. If required
software is not present, WDM indicates which software is missing. Some required
third-party software is included with the WDM software, while other software is
available from your operating system CD-ROM or from the network location for your
Microsoft Windows system files (usually the i386 folder).
• WDM Workgroup Edition Only:
· You do not need to obtain special licenses to install WDM (you will use the WDM
Workgroup Sales Key that appears by default in the InstallShield Wizard).
· Ensure your FTP service is running (see also "How the WDM Installer Installs and
Configures FTP"). Note that you can ignore all HTTP/HTTPS information in this
guide, as you must use FTP.
· Ignore all WebDAV for Microsoft Windows information in this guide (you do not
need WebDAV for Microsoft Windows).
· Ignore all custom SQL Server information in this guide (you must use Microsoft
SQL Server 2008 R2 Express (32-bit) which WDM installs by default).
• WDM Enterprise Edition Only:
· Ensure you obtain (from Wyse) and have access to your WDM Enterprise Sales
Key or Enterprise Evaluation License Key for use during your installation (after
purchase, you should have received an email from Wyse or your reseller with full
instructions on registering and generating your WDM Enterprise Sales Key; if you
did not receive this email, contact your reseller).
· WDM requires a supported SQL Server as described in "Software Requirements."
WDM provides (and installs) Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Express (32-bit) as the
default option, however, you can choose to use another supported SQL Server. To
use another supported SQL Server, you must perform a Custom installation (see
"Installing or Upgrading Procedures (WDM Enterprise Edition)").
· If you plan to install and configure WDM components on multiple machines
(Custom installation), you will repeat some of the installation and configuration
procedures in this guide. Likewise, you must also complete the pre-installation
requirements for each related machine you intend to use.
· If you plan to use FTP, ensure your FTP service is running (see also "How the WDM
Installer Installs and Configures FTP"). CAUTION: If you intend to use the firmware
upgrade feature for Wyse ThreadX devices, FTP must be configured.
· If you plan to use HTTP or HTTPS for your server communications, you must
perform a custom installation (see "Detailed Custom Installation and Upgrade
Instructions"). In addition the WDM installer will install WebDAV for Microsoft
Windows on IIS and use the HTTP or HTTPS ports (as described in
"Communication Port Requirements").
Caution
(Installations on Windows Server 2008 Only) - During the installation, if you
are prompted to download and install the WebDAV Extension for IIS 7.0,
simply follow the instructions (see also "Installing WebDAV Extension for IIS
7.0").
· If you plan to use Wyse ThreadX devices, you must create and configure a DNS
Service Location (SRV) resource record as described in "Requirements for
Managing ThreadX Devices."
