Chapter 1: Installation Overview The NetControl (formerly known as Enterprise Server) platform provides a centralized interface to configure and manage individual services and provides licensed NetPro products access to shared services and data. In addition, NetPro’s Active Directory Management Console (ADMC), which is part of NetControl, allows you to administer Active Directory objects similar to Microsoft’s Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC) interface. With ADMC, you can enforce approval processes for tighter security, while providing compliance for regulations. You can also add business logic to automate common Active Directory tasks, giving you greater control and scalability. This document defines the system requirements for NetControl and procedures for installing, upgrading and removing the NetControl components. It also explains how to deploy and license NetPro products that build on the NetControl platform.
Before You Begin It is recommended that you perform the following steps before you begin the installation procedure: • Review the Requirements and Permissions for the NetControl components • Review the Requirements for the NetPro application to be deployed (Refer to the documentation for that application for additional requirements.) • Review the complete installation process • Read the Release Notes for updated information • Contact NetPro for license files to enable the NetControl and application software License files are required to enable the NetControl software. In evaluation mode, you will have full functional use of NetControl and all its components; however, the product is licensed to expire on a specific date. If your evaluation license expires, NetControl will no longer function.

NetControl
Requirements NetControl is a platform that provides shared services for licensed NetPro applications that build on this platform and provides access to NetPro’s ADMC. NetControl consists of three main components: • NetControl Console • NetControl Service • NetControl Agent(s) NetControl is a 32-bit application that can be installed on 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems. However, since NetControl is a 32-bit application it will use WOW64 in 64-bit environments. NOTE: Some NetPro applications that build upon the NetControl platform have additional system requirements. Please refer to the Requirements section in the Introduction Chapter of the documentation for each individual application for a list of these additional requirements.
NetControl Console Warning NetControl 3.x installs an ADUC extension which allows you to use the workflow and provisioning rules defined through the ADMC. Do NOT install the NetControl Console/ADUC Extension on a machine with Exchange tools. See Appendix B: Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC) Extension in the NetControl Administrator’s Guide for more details.

System Overview NetControl provides a centralized interface to configure and manage individual services as well as providing licensed NetPro applications access to shared services and data. The NetControl platform consists of three main components: • NetControl Console - Provides the user interface to the NetControl Service, the Active Directory Management Console (ADMC) and deployed NetPro applications. From the console, you can setup and configure NetControl shared resources, such as schedules, agent group, computer lists, etc., which can then be used by individual NetPro applications after they are deployed. When NetPro applications are deployed, additional application-specific components will be deployed and made available for use through the NetControl console. • NetControl Service - The service is a core component of NetControl. Communication between the console and service provides you the ability to gain access to application data and to configure the application. The console locates the NetControl service via a Service Connection Point (SCP) and initiates the necessary communication. Since the service is your gateway into the application, the security model is housed here. • NetControl Agent - Agents process the workload defined by the individual NetPro applications. Agents communicate with the SQL server database on a configured interval to receive a list of actions that must be processed.
Installation Overview The self-extracting package includes the following files: • NetPro NetControl Server.msi - This msi installs the NetControl service. This service provides the console a gateway into the application. Additionally, this service will be responsible for communicating with SQL on the users’ behalf. Finally, this component will deploy agents to machines in the enterprise. • NetPro NetControl Console.msi - This msi installs the base NetControl console. The console provides users access and control over the application components. NOTE: The .msi files are signed and can be installed on Vista computers.
Installation Overview

NetControl
Installing NetControl consists of the following steps: 1. Run the NetPro NetControl Server.msi file to install the NetPro NetControl Service. This will launch the NetControl install wizard which steps you through the process of installing the database configuration program. Installing the NetControl service requires entering logon information for a user account with rights to run as a service and install software on remote machines (where an agent will be installed). 2. After the NetControl service is installed, the database configuration program automatically starts allowing you to create and configure the SQL database on a selected SQL server. 3. Run the NetPro NetControl Console.msi to install the NetControl console. 4. Once the NetControl components are installed, you can deploy NetPro applications which can then be accessed using the NetControl console. 5. Once all the components are installed/configured/licensed, you can start the console, create and configure components for your deployed NetPro application(s).

Chapter 1: Installation Overview The NetControl (formerly known as Enterprise Server) platform provides a centralized interface to configure and manage individual services and provides licensed NetPro products access to shared services and data. In addition, NetPro’s Active Directory Management Console (ADMC), which is part of NetControl, allows you to administer Active Directory objects similar to Microsoft’s Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC) interface. With ADMC, you can enforce approval processes for tighter security, while providing compliance for regulations. You can also add business logic to automate common Active Directory tasks, giving you greater control and scalability. This document defines the system requirements for NetControl and procedures for installing, upgrading and removing the NetControl components. It also explains how to deploy and license NetPro products that build on the NetControl platform.
Before You Begin It is recommended that you perform the following steps before you begin the installation procedure: • Review the Requirements and Permissions for the NetControl components • Review the Requirements for the NetPro application to be deployed (Refer to the documentation for that application for additional requirements.) • Review the complete installation process • Read the Release Notes for updated information • Contact NetPro for license files to enable the NetControl and application software License files are required to enable the NetControl software. In evaluation mode, you will have full functional use of NetControl and all its components; however, the product is licensed to expire on a specific date. If your evaluation license expires, NetControl will no longer function.

System Overview NetControl provides a centralized interface to configure and manage individual services as well as providing licensed NetPro applications access to shared services and data. The NetControl platform consists of three main components: • NetControl Console - Provides the user interface to the NetControl Service, the Active Directory Management Console (ADMC) and deployed NetPro applications. From the console, you can setup and configure NetControl shared resources, such as schedules, agent group, computer lists, etc., which can then be used by individual NetPro applications after they are deployed. When NetPro applications are deployed, additional application-specific components will be deployed and made available for use through the NetControl console. • NetControl Service - The service is a core component of NetControl. Communication between the console and service provides you the ability to gain access to application data and to configure the application. The console locates the NetControl service via a Service Connection Point (SCP) and initiates the necessary communication. Since the service is your gateway into the application, the security model is housed here. • NetControl Agent - Agents process the workload defined by the individual NetPro applications. Agents communicate with the SQL server database on a configured interval to receive a list of actions that must be processed.
Installation Overview The self-extracting package includes the following files: • NetPro NetControl Server.msi - This msi installs the NetControl service. This service provides the console a gateway into the application. Additionally, this service will be responsible for communicating with SQL on the users’ behalf. Finally, this component will deploy agents to machines in the enterprise. • NetPro NetControl Console.msi - This msi installs the base NetControl console. The console provides users access and control over the application components. NOTE: The .msi files are signed and can be installed on Vista computers.
Installation Overview

NetControl
Installing NetControl consists of the following steps: 1. Run the NetPro NetControl Server.msi file to install the NetPro NetControl Service. This will launch the NetControl install wizard which steps you through the process of installing the database configuration program. Installing the NetControl service requires entering logon information for a user account with rights to run as a service and install software on remote machines (where an agent will be installed). 2. After the NetControl service is installed, the database configuration program automatically starts allowing you to create and configure the SQL database on a selected SQL server. 3. Run the NetPro NetControl Console.msi to install the NetControl console. 4. Once the NetControl components are installed, you can deploy NetPro applications which can then be accessed using the NetControl console. 5. Once all the components are installed/configured/licensed, you can start the console, create and configure components for your deployed NetPro application(s).

Chapter 4: Upgrading NetControl Components If you are running Enterprise Server 2.6.x, you can upgrade to NetControl 3.x; however, if you are running an earlier version of Enterprise Server, you will need to uninstall Enterprise Server and reinstall NetControl. In addition, you must be running the latest versions of the NetPro plugin applications. See the note below for the application versions that are compatible with the new NetControl console. NOTE: No change in licensing information is required to upgrade to NetControl 3.x. You can continue using your existing valid license keys. However, if you continue to use an existing Enterprise Server license, the reference displayed in the license manager will remain ‘Enterprise Server’ and not ‘NetControl’.
