- Ensure the system is New, running Windows 2000 or 2003 server (web edition not recommended), with ONLY the service pack installed, and not part of a Windows Domain.
- IIS default site must be running (ASP and .NET enabled) (DO NOT lock down before ZENworks PatchManagment has been installed).
- DO NOT install Terminal Services, DO NOT Install ZENworks PatchManagement thru a Terminal Session. (You can install Terminal Services later if desired)
- If the server has previous versions of MSDE or other SQL, patches, or hot fixes installed, the install WILL fail.
These 5 services must always be running on the PatchLink Update Server. These services must be set to Started and Automatic:
