•
Installing on Windows Vista SP1 — Make sure that Windows is not installing updates
while you install the FortiClient application. If Windows Update has run and it
requested a reboot, be sure to reboot your computer before installing the FortiClient
application.
•
Installing on servers — When installing FortiClient Endpoint Security on a server,
follow the antivirus guidelines for other products installed on the server. You might
need to exclude from antivirus scanning certain files and directories such as Exchange
Server, SQL Server and other software with database back-ends.
Note: If FortiClient is directly installed on SQL or Exchange server, the AntiVirus > Server
Protection window is disabled. To enable antivirus server protection, use the msi package
with the public property WITHEXCHANGE=1. For example: msiexec /i
forticlient.msi WITHEXCHANGE=1
Note: While Windows Server is supported, Fortinet does not recommend installing
FortiClient onto Domain Controllers.
•
Installing from a drive created with subst — Installing from an MSI package does
not work if the MSI file is located on a drive created with the subst command. You can
do any of the following:
•
specify the real path to the file
•
move the MSI file to a location where this is not an issue
•
use the .exe installer instead, if possible
