Installing Multi-Server Administration on Windows

This topic describes how to install the TrueSight Network Automation – Multi-Server Administration on Windows using a wizard.

Before you begin

• Ensure that you have set up the installation environment.
• If you have installed any intrusion prevention system, such as McAfee Intrusion Protection, ensure that it is disabled before you start the installation process. You can enable it once the installation is complete.

To install Multi-Server Administration

1. Log on as an administrator to the host computer where you are installing Multi-Server Administration.
2. Start the installation by executing the setup.cmd file that you extracted in Extracting the installation files.
   The installer might take a minute or more to start.
3. Welcome panel: Click Next.
4. End User License Agreement panel: Review the The referenced document [xwiki:Automation-DevSecOps.Network-Automation.TrueSight-Network-Automation.tsna251.TrueSight Network Automation 25\.1._Inclusion-Library._Common-terminology.WebHome] was not found. Software License. Select I agree to the terms of the license agreement to continue the installation, and then click Next.

5. Installation Directory panel: Specify the directory in which you want to install the product in the Destination Directory field, and click Next. This directory is the MSA_HOME directory. (Default) C:\Program Files\BMC Software\BCA-Networks-MSA.

   Notes

   • Do not use pound ($), hash (#), or at (@) sign in the directory path.
   • The directory path cannot contain any non-Latin characters (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, or similar). These characters cause the installation to fail.
   • You must install the software on a local drive. Do not install the software on a network drive.
   • BMC recommends using the default value for continuity with uninstallation and future upgrades.
