Install NDS

Installation user account prerequisites:
As an installer, you must have the following:
  • Microsoft SQL Server
     sysadmin and 
    Windows
     admin rights.
  • A new database installation requires that the 
    Microsoft SQL Server
     service account have permission to write the file system. Ensure the 
    Microsoft SQL Server
     service account has that, or change it to a Local System account.
  • For custom ngad: A password for the ”NGAD,” the owner of the 
    AtHoc
     “ng” databases. If a ngad user is not created, the installer will automatically create ngad login.
  • Full control for the directory in which the database installation scripts are located. Right-click on the directory and open the properties to verify.
  • Full control of the database directory folder that contains the .ldf, .mdf, and .ndf files. Right–click on the directory and open the properties to verify.
  • The database server must be installed first when installing separate application and database servers. When installing both application and database servers on the same machine (a “combo install”), they can be installed at the same time.
  1. Start the installation by double–clicking the setup file.
  2. On the 
    Welcome
     screen, click 
    Next
    .
  3. On the 
    Select Features
     screen, select the features you want to install and click

       Installs the 
      NDS
       application server.

       Installs the OPM plug-in.
    • NDS Database Server:
       Installs the 
      NDS
       database server.
      The database server must be installed first when installing separate application and database servers. Do not select the 
      NDS Database Server
       check box if you have already installed the database on a different host.
  4. On the 
    Database User Login
     screen, if 
    AtHoc
     is already installed on the server, the installer will pick the database connection string from AtHocENS registry. Click 
    Next
    .
  5. On the 
    Choose Destination Location
     screen, specify the folders to install the 
    NDS
     components by clicking the associated 
    Browse
     button to specify the 
    NDS
     application server folder and the 
    NDS
     database data files folder that you want. Or, click 
    Next
     to accept the default locations for both folders.
