Checklist: Command Server Installation
Determine which computer or computers will serve as iNEWS Command Servers and, if
installing on a redundant system, decide which one will run the primary services; you should
install on the primary server first, then the backup server(s).
n
If you want to copy the installation CD to a specified location on your network to alleviate
or reduce having to manually insert the CD into actual computers on site, see “Copying
Install CD to Local Directory” on page 22.
On the Command Server, complete the following tasks in the order that they are listed. If
you are viewing this checklist online, you can easily link to a topic that provides procedural
details for the task. Return to this main checklist after you have completed each task.
Tasks Refer to...

already have a method for synchronizing PC clocks on the network.
