Setting up for installing Multi-Server Administration on a Windows server

You must perform the following tasks before starting the installation of 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. – Multi-Server Administration on a Microsoft Windows server.

Extracting the installation files  

Perform the following steps to extract the installation files:

1. Locate the file that you downloaded from the BMC Electronic Product Distribution (EPD) site, or on media if you purchased the product with media.
   For information about the EPD site, see Downloading-the-installation-files.
   
   On media, the Microsoft Windows installation files are in the \install\windows subdirectory. For either downloads or media, the file name is msa-server-v.r.mm-win64.zip.

2.  Extract the archive. The following table lists the files contained in the download:

   The [confluence_table-plus] macro is a standalone macro and it cannot be used inline. Click on this message for details.
   This macro generates standalone content. As a consequence you need to make sure to use a syntax that separates your macro from the content before and after it so that it's on a line by itself. For example in XWiki Syntax 2.0+ this means having 2 newline characters (a.k.a line breaks) separating your macro from the content before and after it.
   

Checking required disk space on a Windows server

Installation of the Multi-Server Administration server requires approximately 1.2 GB MB of free disk storage on a Windows server.

Do not install the software on a networked drive. You must install the software on a local drive.

Enabling Windows 8.3 file names

To successfully install Multi-Server Administration, you must enable Microsoft Windows 8.3 file names before the installation. Perform the following steps to verify or enable Windows 8.3 file names:

1. Verify whether the Windows 8.3 file names feature is enabled: In a Windows command prompt enter fsutil behavior query disable8dot3.
   • If the output is disable8dot=0, then Windows 8.3 file names are enabled.
   • If the output is disable8dot=1, then Windows 8.3 file names are disabled. Continue with the next step to enable Windows 8.3 file names.
2. In a Windows command prompt, enable Windows 8.3 files names by entering fsutil behavior set disable8dot3 0 .
3. Restart Windows.
