2.2. Installing Dr.Web Enterprise Server

The installation of Enterprise Server is the first step in the installation of Dr.Web ESS anti-virus. Unless and until it is successfully installed, no other ESS components can be installed.

The installation procedure of Enterprise Server depends on Server version (for Windows OS or for UNIX system-based OS). Nevertheless, the parameters set during the installation and the structure of the installed software are the same for all versions.

 

All parameters set during the installation can be changed later by an anti-virus network administrator.

 

If the Server software is already installed on your computer, see the Upgrading Dr.Web ESS for Windows® OS or Upgrading Dr.Web ESS for UNIX® System-Based Systems sections correspondingly.

 

 

If the previously installed Server was removed before installing the Server software, contents of the repository will be deleted during installation and the new version will be installed. If the repository of the previous version by some reason was not removed, it is necessary to manually delete the contents of the repository before installing the new version of the Server and then renew the repository after installation.

 

The language for the Server installation folder name must match to the language, specified in language settings of Windows OS for the non-Unicode programs. In opposite case, the Server will not be installed.

The english language is an exception for the installation folder name.

 

Together with Enterprise Server, the Dr.Web Control Center is installed, which serves to manage the anti-virus network and set up the Server.

By default, Enterprise Server will run automatically after the installation (for UNIX system-based OS you can change this option in installer settings).
