CDSETUP-Installing Step-By-Step Interactive Series on a Network (238496)

SUMMARY

DISK SPACE REQUIREMENTS

The setup requires approximately 350 MB of hard disk space. The Network Server Setup installs all of the content files and client setup files.

INSTALLING ODBC DRIVERS AND SQL COMPONENTS

1. In order for the Administrator Tool to operate, setup needs to install current ODBC drivers. When the driver installation is complete, restart your computer.
2. If you are setting up Microsoft Press Interactive Training using a SQL database, run the SQL Database setup program that sets up the MPI Training database.
   • If ODBC components were installed and the system was restarted, run the SQL Database Setup manually. This can be found in:
     
     (default path: c:\program files\mspress\mpitraining\admin\SQL\setup\setup.exe)
   • If not, this program can be launched from the final MPI Training Setup dialog.

SHARING THE CLIENT FOLDERS

The steps below apply to all platforms and protocols and must be performed before Microsoft Press Interactive Training will operate in a networked environment.

1. In Windows Explorer, locate the folder in which the Microsoft Press Interactive Training product was installed (e.g. C:\Program Files\MSPress\MPITraining).
2. Configure the MPITraining folder with read/write permissions.
3. Client computers can navigate to setup files by using the following path:
   (Machine Name)\MPITraining\mcse\setup.exe.

LOGGING INTO THE ADMINISTRATION CONSOLE

1. The default username is Admin and there is no default password (leave it blank).
