    This topic provides information about preparing your environment before installing the App Visibility agent for .NET.

    This topic presents the following sections:

    Install the App Visibility server

    Before you install the App Visibility agents, which require the IP address or host name of the App Visibility portal and its port number, install the App Visibility server components.

    Install IIS Management Scripts and Tools

    If you are monitoring applications hosted on an IIS server, ensure that IIS Management Scripts and Tools are installed. The App Visibility agent for .NET employs the memory usage events feature to access application pool settings. On the computer where you are installing the agent, ensure that IIS Management Scripts and Tools is selected:

    Note

    Windows Server 2003 does not require IIS Management Scripts and Tools.

    • Microsoft Windows 2008 R2

    • Microsoft Windows 2012

    Download installation files

    Download the agent for .NET installation files from the Electronic Product Distribution site.

    Confirm access and permissions

    When you perform an installation or upgrade, you must use an IIS Application Pool Identity that has read and execute access to the installation directory, subdirectories, and files for App Visibility agent for .NET. Specifically, you must have Traverse folder access to the agent installation directories. For example, if %ProgramFiles(x86)% is C:\Program Files (x86), you need Traverse folder access to the following directories:

    • C:\
    • C:\Program Files (x86)\
    • C:\Program Files (x86)\BMC Software\
    • C:\Program Files (x86)\BMC Software\App Visibility\

    Remove SCOM APM

    To use agent for .NET in a Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) version 2012 environment, you must disable application performance monitoring for SCOM, because only one application can use the .NET CLR Profiler at a time. For more information, see the SCOM product documentation.

    To remove SCOM APM

    1. Uninstall the Operations Manager agent. Open link
    2. Reinstall the Operations Manager agent without .NET Application Performance Monitoring, as described in the SCOM product documentation Open link . Ensure that you use the NOAPM=1 switch.

    SCOM APM is not installed and will not interfere with agent for .NET.

    To configure the required Terminal Server options

    On a Windows operating system, to run the installation utility through a Terminal Services connection or a remote desktop session, configure the Terminal Server options that pertain to temporary folders.

    1. On the host computer, open the Local Group Policy Editor by selecting Start > Run and typing gpedit.msc.
    2. Expand the following folder: Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Temporary folders.
    3. Double-click the following options to set each to Enabled:
      • Do not delete temp folder upon exit
      • Do not use temporary folders per session
    4. Restart the computer.

    Troubleshooting tip

    If you receive a notification about Terminal Server configuration when you run the installation, perform the following steps to back up the registry and adjust the registry key values as follows:

    1. On the host computer, open the Registry Editor by selecting Start > Run and typing regedit.
    2. Expand the following folder: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server.
    3. Set the value for PerSessionTempDir and DeleteTempDirsOnExit to 0.
    4. Restart the computer.

    Note

    You can revert these changes after you complete the installation process. You might need to restart the computer.

    To allow the installation utility to run unrestricted

    (Windows XP SP2 or Windows 2003 SP1 only) Configure the setup executable file to run in unrestricted mode and to run unblocked by the Data Execution Prevention (DEP) feature.

    1. Select Control Panel > System, and then select Advanced system settings.
    2. In the System Properties dialog box, select the Advanced tab, and then click the Settings button under Performance.
    3. On the Data Execution Prevention tab, select Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select.
    4. Click Add and select the setup.exe file that you downloaded or obtained from BMC Support.
    5. Click OK in all dialog boxes.
    6. Restart the computer.
