Shavlik Protect 9.0

Console

Restrictions:

• An NTFS file system is required on the console machine
• If you install the console on a domain controller that uses LDAP certificate authentication, you may need to configure the server to avoid conflict issues between the SSL certificate and the Shavlik Protect program certificate. There is no easy way to configure this on a Windows Server 2003-based domain controller and this combination is not recommended for use as a console.
• If you install the console on two or more machines that share a database, all of the console machines must have unique security identifiers (SIDs) in order to prevent user credential problems. Machines are likely to have the same SIDs if you make a copy of a virtual machine or if you ghost a machine.

  If you do not have a SQL Server database, the option to install either SQL Server 2012 Express Edition SP1 or SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Edition SP2 will be provided during the prerequisite software installation process. SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Edition SP2 is offered only if you are using an older operating system (Windows XP or Windows Server 2003) that does not support SQL Server 2012 Express Edition.

• Size: 1.5 GB

Prerequisite Software:(Installed automatically)

• Windows Installer 4.5 or later (only required if installing SQL Server 2012 Express SP1 or SQL Server 2008 R2 Express SP2 during Shavlik Protect installation)
• Use of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (Full or Express Edition) or later
• Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 or later

• Windows PowerShell 3.0, or Windows PowerShell 2.0 if your OS does not support v3.0 (required for the ITScripts feature)
• Windows Imaging Component
• Remote Desktop Connection (required for the RDP feature)
• Shavlik Protect 32-bit or 64-bit MSI file. The installation program will detect which version is supported by the console's operating system and will automatically download the correct file. This prerequisite does not apply if you are using the full download executable file as both versions of the MSI file are contained in the executable file.

Windows Account Requirements

• In order to access the full capabilities of Shavlik Protect, you must run under an account with administrator privileges

Configuration Requirements:

• When performing an asset scan of the console machine, Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) service must be enabled and the protocol allowed to the machine. In Windows Firewall, on Windows XP/Windows 2003 machines the service is called Remote Administration, and on more recent Windows machines the service is called Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI)/Remote Administration.
