Installation Checklist

Inform all your users of the downtime you'll need. If your server runsother Internet services, such as Microsoft's IIS, notify your users that theservices will be unavailable while you install IAS.

Make sure the only applications running on the server are those that areabsolutely necessary. The Setup program overwrites particular files on theserver, so if other programs are using them, Setup will not continue properly.Stop any Microsoft Internet services that you have running, or you can let theIAS Setup program stop them for you.

Before starting installation, be sure to log in as Administrator or as auser who is a member of the Administrator group. You will need administrativeprivileges to complete the installation correctly.

Gather all the IP address ranges your network uses. You'll need them duringinstallation.

Determine what client operating systems the workstations on your networkrun so you can install the appropriate client packages during setup.

Be sure that the disk drive on which you install the software has about3.5MB of free space available.

Be sure you already have a second network card installed in the server andthat the card is pre-configured with a non-routable IP address, such as10.0.0.1. If you're connecting to the Internet with a regular modem orIntegrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) connected to a COM port, you'll needonly one network card, because NT sees modems as Ethernet devices.
