quick startup guide
Tip: You can run the Enterprise Console installer to check if the server meets the requirements for the installation, even if you do not want to proceed with the installation immediately. You can view the results of the system check on the System Property Checks page of the installation wizard. After you have reviewed the results, click Cancel to close the wizard. For more information about the system check results, go to http://www.sophos.com/en-us/support/knowledgebase/113945.aspx

5.1 Hardware and operating system
For hardware and operating system requirements, see the system requirements page of the
Sophos website ( http://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/all-system-requirements.aspx
).
5.2 Microsoft system software
Enterprise Console requires certain Microsoft system software (for example, database software).
The Enterprise Console installer attempts to install this system software if it is not already available on your server. However, in some cases, software is incompatible with your server or needs to be installed manually.
Whichever installer you use, read the advice below.
Note: After you install the required system software, you may need to restart your computers.

SQL Server installation
The installer attempts to install SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Edition with Service Pack 1 (SP1), unless you choose to use an existing instance of SQL Server 2005 Express or later. Note that:
■
We recommend that you do not install SQL Server on a domain controller.
■
■
SQL Server 2008 R2 Express is not compatible with Windows Server 2003 SP1 or Windows
Essential Business Server 2008.
On Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter, you must raise the domain functional level to Windows
Server 2003, as explained at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322692 .
.NET Framework installation
The installer attempts to install .NET Framework 4.0, unless it is already installed. Note that:
■
As part of the .NET Framework 4.0 installation some system services (such as IIS Admin
Service) may restart.
After .NET Framework 4.0 is installed, you may receive a message asking you to restart your computer. If you do, we recommend that you restart the computer immediately or shortly after the installation.
