Preparing the core server

Suite 9.0. For more information about LANDesk Management Suite system requirements, go to the following

The preferred platform for ThinkManagement Console 9.0 is the Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit) operating
system. The following instructions describe how to configure the Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit) operating
system to meet the ThinkManagement Console 9.0 prerequisites.
1. Install the Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit) operating system from the installation media. It is
recommended to install the server operating system again for the HPM core server, because existing
operating system images might have incompatible settings with the HPM core server.
2. Run Windows Update and ensure that all necessary critical updates have been applied.
3. Name the core server. It is important that the core server name is set correctly. After being installed, an
HPM core server cannot be renamed.
4. Disable the Indexing Service and Windows Search Service because they might interfere with the normal
operation of the HPM core server. For more details, go to the Web site:
