authentication

 

       Windows authentication

       Fill in the appropriate fields. A valid username and password, as well as a domain name.

 

       Custom authentication

       With a custom authentication you must also fill in a valid username and password, however, no domain name is

       required here.

 

 

3. Select and specify a service account. It is important you notice, that your SEM installation needs to run in authorized context, when accessed. In other words, SEM needs to be executed in the context of a service account. Here you must select whether an existing service account should be used, or if a new should be created.

       Whether you select to use an existing account, or create a new one, you must specify a valid username, a

       password, and fill in an appropriate domain name. When this is done, you must click Next to continue.

 

 

4. If a Windows Cluster has been detected the following page will be shown - it no cluster has been detected this page

will be skipped automatically.

 

The installation has tried to automatically detect the name of the clustered Exchange server - and the Quorum Drive (=Shared Cluster Disk).

Please verify that the information is correct - and if not, enter the correct information.

9. Configure automatic update. The SEM can be enabled to update itself, or inform you when updates are available. Simply mark the checkbox "Enable automatic update", if SEM should be enabled to update itself. You can also enter your email, so you in any case are informed whenever updates are available. Click Next to continue.

 

Remember to specify when the SEM should look for updates, i.e. day of the week and time of day.
