Preparing to install Network Deployment on a Windows system

This topic describes how to install the IBM WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment, Version 6.x product on a Windows operating system.

Before you begin

Before using this topic to prepare for installing the Network Deployment product, decide the sort of topology you want to install and prepare your operating system. See the following topics for more information:

Log on as a member of the administrator group to successfully install the product. Creating a Windows service for the server1 process requires you to have the following advanced user right: Act as part of the operating system.

During the procedure, you can assign another ID or the one you are using to install as the user who will log on the Windows service. That user requires the advanced user right: Log on as a service.

However, if you do not have this advanced user right or if the user ID that is to log on the Windows service does not have the advanced user right, the Installation wizard assigns the advanced right to the user.

About this task

After verifying prerequisites, verifying the product disc, and setting your installation goals, you can start installing. Use one of the following links to open the installation procedure that you require. Then install the Network Deployment product on your operating system.

Procedure

Results

The installation wizard installs the product files into the installation root directory.

Use the Profile Creation wizard to create profiles in the default profile_root directory or in a directory that you select.

See Creating profiles using the graphical user interface.
