the command-line interface.

the file as a script. The ASU program supports scripting environments through a batch-processing mode.

Installing EasyManage software

You can install the ThinkServer® EasyManage Core Server program from the EasyManage CD or you
can download and install the program from http://www.lenovo.com/support. After one instance of the
EasyManage Core Server has been installed, you can use the EasyManageAgent installer to install the
agent on other servers and clients on the network.
Also, the EasyManage program provides an option to either install the EasyManage Agent as part of
the operating system installation process or install a desktop icon to assist with the installation of the
EasyManage Core Server after the operating system has been installed.

Installation requirements

Before installing EasyManage software on your server, your environment must meet the following
requirements:
• ®Microsoft Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008 is installed on the server where you intend to
install the Core Server.
• The original Windows Server operating system installation CDs are available in case files are needed
while installing the prerequisites.
• The server has Internet access to obtain prerequisites and to activate the software after the installation is
complete.
• The server has a static IP address.
• The server is not a domain controller. However, it is recommended to have the server join a domain.
• The account that you use to log in and to install the Core Server has Administrator privileges on the server
with full read/write access. Ideally, this account is also a Domain Administrator account. This account will
be used to create the initial administrator-level account used to log in to the EasyManage console.
• Any previous agent from EasyManage or LANDesk must be removed prior to installing the Core Server
and Management Console.
