Selecting an Installation Method

There are multiple methods of installing the product. When installing, identify the scenario that best suits your network environment, and complete the scenario according to the provided procedures.

• For small network environments that do not require complex instances of SQL Server, complete the basic Ivanti Endpoint Security (Ivanti Endpoint Security) installation. This installation includes an installation of Microsoft SQL Server 2014, Express Edition (x64). This installation method is the simplest Ivanti Endpoint Security method.

  • Installing Using a New SQL Server Instance

• For larger network environments, the Ivanti Endpoint Security installation requires a more sophisticated SQL Server instance that must be installed independently from Ivanti Endpoint Security. This instance of SQL Server, which must be installed before Ivanti Endpoint Security, can be installed on either the target Ivanti Endpoint Security server or a remote server.

  • Installing Using an Existing SQL Server Instance (either locally or remotely)

  • Installing Using a Remote SQL Server Instance (with no local instance)

• In especially large environments, the SQL Server administrator and the Ivanti Endpoint Security administrator may be separate individuals. In this scenario, a special installation procedure is required due to administrator access right limitations.

  • Installing Ivanti Endpoint Security (Separate Ivanti Endpoint Security and SQL Server Admins)
