You can use these procedures to install Multiple Device Manager on a Windows operating system and also to install the IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS), if it is not already installed.
Before you install the Device Manager extensions, you should have already installed the DB2 Universal Database Workgroup Edition and the IBM Director.

Perform the following steps to install Multiple Device Manager and the WebSphere Application Server (if it is not already installed):
Multiple Device Manager must be installed by a user who is logged on as a local administrator (for example, as the administrator user) on the system where the Multiple Device Manager will be installed. If you intend to install Multiple Device Manager as server, the user needs the following required system privileges, called user rights, to successfully complete the installation:
![]() | Note: The installation program checks the user privileges and asks the user to set these privileges in step 17. |
These user rights are governed by the Local security policy and are not initially set as the defaults for administrators. They might not be in effect when you log on as the local administrator. If the Multiple Device Manager installation program does not detect the required user rights for the logged on user name, the program can optionally set them. The program can set the local security policy settings to assign these user rights. Alternatively, you can manually set them prior to performing the installation. To manually set these privileges, click the following path and select the appropriate user rights:
After these user rights are set (either by the installation program or manually), log off the system, and then log on again in order for the user rights to take effect. You can then restart the installation program to continue with the Multiple Device Manager installation.
<WAS_dest-path>\bin\stopServer.bat server1 -username <username> -password <password>where:
<WAS_dest-path> is the destination path, where IBM WebSphere Application Server v5.1 was installed
<username> is the name of a Console user having an Operator or Administrator role, when Global Security is enabled
<password> is the password of the entered user

![]() | Note: Stopping the Director Support Program usually stops both of the Director services. |
When you complete these steps, the IBM Director icon that is located in the start tray (lower right corner of the screen) changes to a red diamond indicating that the server has stopped.
The Multiple Device Manager installation program should start within 15 - 30 seconds if you have AutoRun mode set on your system.

If you want to manually set these privileges, click No to quit the installation program. See Step 1 for instructions on how to manually set these privileges. Then, log off and log on again to make these privileges take effect.
Click Yes to permit the installation program to update the user rights. When this action is completed, a new pop-up window opens that tells you to log off and log on again to make the privileges take effect. When you log on again, you must restart the installation from the beginning (refer back to Step 1).
Click Next to continue with the installation, click Back to review what you previously selected or click Cancel to exit the installation program.
