Installing Deployment Server
Enabling SQL Server 2008
Altiris Deployment Solution™ from Symantec User's Guide
Deployment Server is a flexible, scalable computer deployment and management
system that can be installed and configured on a single computer, or installed across
several computers to distribute processing for large enterprise environments. You can
run a Simple install to position all Deployment Server Components on a single
computer (most frequently used), or plan and perform a Custom install to distribute
installation of components across separate computers in the site. The Deployment Web
Console can be installed as part of the Deployment Server installation on any computer
running Microsoft IIS.
See Deployment Server components
After installing Deployment Server components, you can remotely install Deployment
Agents on all types of computer resources across your organization: laptops, LAN and
Web servers, network switches, and so on. Windows computers and Linux computers
can be managed as a unified environment, with each client communicating through its
own Deployment agent to update inventory data and react to Deployment Server
commands and deployment tasks.
Select one of the following methods for installing a Deployment Server system:
Simple install for Deployment Server
Custom install for Deployment Server
Thin client install
Component install
To install Deployment Agents on the client computer, see
agents on page 350.
Note
You can also install the Deployment Server components remotely from the Symantec
Management Console.
SQL Server 2008 turns off the network TCP and pipe protocols. Before you install
Deployment Server, you need to enable the network TCP protocol.
To enable SQL Server 2008
1. In the SQL Server Configuration Manager, expand SQL Server Network
Configuration.
2. Click Protocols for MSSQLSERVER.
3. In the right pane, double-click TCP/IP.
4. Change the Enabled field to Yes.
