When you are ready to install Security Center, you must perform the following steps.
Before you begin
What you should know
IMPORTANT:
- If you need to install the Security Center Server on a computer after you have installed Security Center Client, always use the downloaded Security Center package. Using the Change option from Programs and Features does not install the SQL Server Express component.
- The Security Center Installer does not support the use of mapped drives in your path specifications.
- During the Security Center installation, you are given the option of allowing Security Center to create firewall rules for its applications. If you select this option, all Security Center applications are added as exceptions to the internal Windows firewall. However, you still must ensure that all the ports used by Security Center are open on your network.
- You can configure different port numbers than the ones that are used by default.
- If you are running Security Center on a Windows machine that has Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) mode enabled, following the installation you must disable the machine's FIPS compliance checks for Security Center.
