IGEL UMS Installation under Windows

This article describes the complete procedure for installing the standard IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS) with an embedded database under Windows. If your required installation differs, you can select individual components, e.g. for a standalone UMS Console installation. You can check the installation requirements under Installation Requirements for the IGEL UMS.

The Server Core installation option of the Microsoft Windows Server is not supported.

Standard Installation of the UMS

To install the IGEL UMS under Windows, proceed as follows:

Download the current version of the IGEL Universal Management Suite from the IGEL Download Server.

For integrity and security purposes, it is recommended to verify the checksum of the downloaded software.

Launch the installer.
Read and confirm the License Agreement.
Read the Information regarding the installation process and click Next.
Only if this is an update installation: If you already have a UMS installation, select the file name for the backup of your embedded database. If you do not choose a file name and click on Next, no backup will be created. See also Updating the IGEL UMS under Windows.

Only if this is a new installation: Select the folder for the installation under Select Destination Location. (Default: C:\Program Files\IGEL\RemoteManager)

Set the maximum memory consumption (Java heap size) for the UMS Server depending on your environment. For the first installation, you can leave the default value (3072 MB), and change it later based on How to Configure Java Heap Size for the UMS Server. If you are updating the UMS, the installer will carry over and display the previously configured value.
Set the maximum memory consumption (Java heap size) for the UMS Console depending on your environment. For the first installation, you can leave the default value (3072 MB), and change it later based on How to Configure Java Heap Size for the UMS Console. If you are updating the UMS, the installer will carry over and display the previously configured value.
Read the Memory (RAM) requirements and click Next if your system fulfills them.
Select the UMS data directory. (Default: C:\Program Files\IGEL\RemoteManager)
Under User Credentials for DB-connect, enter the user name and password for the database connection – unless you are planning to connect the UMS to an MS SQL Server via Active Directory. For more information on connecting via AD, see Microsoft SQL Server/Cluster with Native Active Directory (AD) Authentication .
The credentials for the database connection are created.

The user name and password are case-sensitive.

Initially, the credentials entered here are also the credentials of the UMS superuser. After the installation, the credentials for the database user and those for the UMS superuser can be changed independently from each other. For more information about the UMS superuser, see Changing the UMS Superuser .

If the internal Windows firewall is active on your host: Review the settings under Windows firewall settings and change them where necessary. Each port that is activated here will be set as rule in the Windows firewall.

Choose a folder name under Select Start Menu Folder.
Under Select Additional Tasks, specify whether you would like to create shortcuts for the UMS Console and UMS Administrator on the desktop.
Read the summary and start the installation process.
The installer will install the UMS, create entries in the Windows software directory and in the start menu, and, if selected, will place shortcuts for the UMS Console and UMS Administrator on the desktop.
Close the program after completing the installation by clicking on Finish.
If you have chosen the standard installation, the UMS Server will run with the embedded database.
Start the UMS Console.
Connect the UMS Console to the UMS Server using the access data for the database that you entered during the installation. For more information, see Connecting the UMS Console to the IGEL UMS Server.
Start the UMS Web App. See How to Log In to the IGEL UMS Web App.
