Install the Manager/Central Manager

Prev Next

Before you begin

Close all open programs, including email, the   Administrative Tools → Services window, and instant messaging to avoid port conflicts. A port conflict may cause the Manager program to incur a BIND error on startup, hence failing initialization.  

Note

Close any open browsers and restart your server after installation is complete. Open browsers may be caching old class files and cause conflicts.  

IIS (Internet Information Server) and PWS (Personal Web Server) must be disabled or uninstalled from the target server.  

This section contains installation instructions for the Central Manager and Manager software on your Windows server or MLOS, including the installation of MariaDB.  

In this section, unless explicitly stated, Central Manager and Manager are commonly referred to as "Manager".  

Task

  1. Prepare your target server for Manager software installation. See   Preparing for the Manager installation.    

  2. Install the Manager software. See   Installing the Manager.    

  3. Start the Manager program. During initial client login from the Manager server or a client machine, register the Manager with   Trellix. See   Product Registration in the Network Security Manager.
