Presentation of EzGet 4.2

This guide presents the process of installation and implementation of EzGet 4.2 of WareMon Incorporated.

 

Basis

zGet 4.2 is built for servers of Windows* NT/2000/2003 and provides one unique interface to manage clients on the mentioned operating systems. On the client side, EzGet is built for Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, 2003 and XP.

 

 

EzGet and your network

EzGet uses the infrastructure of your TCP/IP network to connect with the peripherals EzGet is in charge. The management of the network with EzGet is an easier task no matter of the size of the network.

 

 

EzGet vocabulary

 

 

Ø Database: a database Microsoft® SQL server™ or MSDE™ is mandatory to save the data and run queries.

 

Ø EzGet Server: All the files and essential services are stored on the main server, 4 services called ‘Software pumps‘ dispatch the gathered pieces of information in the database. Pumps and database can be hosted on a same server.

 

Ø Console: main interface of EzGet.

 

Ø Clients: workstations, servers, laptops and any other peripherals on the network with where the agent of EzGet is installed. A server can handle up to 10,000 clients.

 


Presentation of the Installation

 

This guide explains step by step the tasks of installation and deployment.  Before beginning each phase of the installation certain pieces of information will be necessary.


Here are the details:


1 – Choice of the engine of the database (SGBD)

a) Installation of Microsoft MSDE.

 

At the first step of the installation, the choice of the type of the engine of the database (SGBD) is important.  If your company does not have a Microsoft SQL server which can host the database EzGet, you have here the option to install the engine of the MSDE database.  EzGet requires a database to store gathered inventory and usage information.  A database management system (SGBD) is essential to interact with this database.  For a quick installation, use Microsoft MSDE.  MSDE will be installed and configured for you if you accept the data source by default during this phase of installation.  In this case the only required preparation is to confirm that the server hosting the software MSDE meets the system requirements for the execution of the databases.

 


Information required
:

 

SQL Server

MSDE

  • Server Name
  • Server or workstation Name
  • Instance Name (EzGet by default)

 

  • Authentification Mode

 

  • User Account

 

  • Password

 

 

 

Requirements of the server MSDE

When you consider which server you will configure as MSDE database server, review the requirements system mentioned below and confirm that the server fulfils them:

 

  • Windows XP Professional with SP1 or Windows 2000 Professional with SP 3, Windows 2000 Server or Advanced Server with SP 3, or Windows Server 2003 Standard edition or Enterprise
  • 500 Mo of disk space available
  • Processor Pentium III (minimum);  processor Pentium 4 (recommended)
  • 512 Mo of memory RAM (minimum)
  • Accounts with administrator’s rights
  • Disk(s) SCSI recommended(s)

 

For more details concerning the product Microsoft MSDE please consult the website of Microsoft.

 


b) Installation of an SQL database

 

The installation by default uses an MSDE Microsoft database on your server.  If you do not plan to use an MSDE database by default on the server, you must configure a database before run the program of installation.  During the installation, you will point then towards the database lately created which will contain the data.  All the database servers must be equipped with MDAC 2.7 minimum.  If you have a principal Windows NT/2000/2003 domain, do not install the database on the principal controller of the domain (PDC).  The database must be only installed on an standalone server.  You can install the database on the secondary controller of the domain (BDC) in a small Windows NT/2000/2003 domain, but this operation is not recommended.

 

 

Configuration de Microsoft SQL Server 2000

The database server requires the parameters mentioned below.  These parameters are defined by default if you use a standard installation for SQL 2000. 

 

 

Basic parameters of data

  • Use the default settings

  

 

Other parameters

  • Use ‘sa’ or another alias of user in the database as a DBO during creation of the database.
  • Define the maintenance of the database.
  • Ensure that Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6 or later is installed.

  

 

To install the console Web so that it uses your database SQL 2000

  

  1. Install until the moment when you must select a database.  Click on Database provided by the user, then on Next.

  

  1. In the field Server, enter the name of the database server for the database SQL. In the field database, enter the name of the database.  In the field User, enter the name of user of the database.  In the field Password, enter the password of the database.  Click on Next.

  

  1. Finish the installation for the database

2 – Installation of the database EzGet.
 

During this phase, you will install the database EzGet on the SQL server or MSDE.

Total number of clients
3 -
License type (1year, 2 years, …)

 

 

Estimate of the number of clients

A client is any computer where the Agent of EzGet is installed.  Although that includes all the servers equipped with agents, the majority of the clients are generally workstations and laptops.

 

 

 3 – Installation of the server EzGet.
 

During this phase, you install the 4 essential services of EzGet.  The server hosting the services of EzGet does not need to be dedicated to this application but must nevertheless have the performances required.

 

 

 

Information required:

 

 

  • Name of the server hosting the EzGet database
  • Access Authentification Mode to the database
  • Database User Account
  • Database password

 

 

During this installation you will have to determine the repertory of reception of the inventory files.

 

  

 

Server Requirements

 

When you consider which server you will configure as the EzGet server, take into account the system requirements mentioned below and confirm that the server fulfils them:

 

  • Windows XP Professional with SP1 or Windows 2000 Professional with SP 3, Windows 2000 Server or Advanced Server with SP 3, Windows NT 4 Server with SP6 or Windows Server 2003 Standard edition or Enterprise
  • 500 Mo of disk space available
  • Processor Pentium III (minimum); processor Pentium 4 (recommended)
  • 256 Mo of memory RAM (minimum)
  • Accounts with administrator rights
  • Disk(s) SCSI recommended

 

 

4 – EzGet console setup.
 

 

The console computer runs the interface of the main user from which you manage activities such as the remote control of a client, monitoring of the main database or the creation of reports.

You can install the console on a distinct computer, no need to install a console on the database servers or EzGet server.

 

Due to some limitations of MSDE, you can have problems of performances when the database runs more than five concurrent tasks.

The pump services of EzGet use full-time 3 connections to the database, it is recommended to limit the number of consoles to 2 which will use the database simultaneously.

 

 

During this phase, you install the EzGet console.
