Install Guide

Installing WDM Database
Prerequisite
Before you install the WDM database on a system or virtual machine (VM), ensure that you have installed the supported version of
Microsoft SQL Server. If you do not have SQL Server on the system, you can choose to install Microsoft SQL Express 2016 SP1 which is
packaged with the WDM installer.
NOTE:
If you are installing the WDM database on an existing SQL Server database, ensure that port 1433 is available on the system.
To install the WDM database, you must select Database on the Components screen, and then continue with the installation process.
Steps
1 Extract the contents of the WDM installer on the system where you want to install WDM.
2 Navigate to the folder where you have extracted the installer and run Setup.exe.
If the server does not have .Net framework, then the .Net framework is installed automatically.
The Welcome screen is displayed.
3 Click NEXT.
4 In license type, select ENTERPRISE.
a If you have the WDM license key, select the I have WDM Enterprise License Key option and enter the license key in the space
provided.
b If you do not have the License key, select the 30–days Enterprise Evaluation option.
The license key is entered by default. However, after the 30 days evaluation period, you must obtain the license key and add it to
WDM. For more information about adding the license key, see the Dell Wyse Device Manager Administrator’s Guide.
5 Click NEXT.
6 Select Database component.
7 On the Congure Database screen, select one of the following options:
• Install New Database Server (Microsoft SQL Express 2016 SP1)—Select this option if you do not have any supported version
of Microsoft SQL Server installed on the system and proceed to step 8.
• Use Existing Database Server (SQL Server Express or full)—Select this option if you have already installed a supported version
of Microsoft SQL Server on the system. If you select this option, ensure that the existing database server is on the same system
where you are installing WDM Workgroup edition, and proceed to step 9.
8 If you have selected the rst option in step 7, select the authentication method.
• SQL Server Authentication—This option is selected by default. To congure SQL server authentication, do the following:
1 Enter the WDM database credentials.
2 Enter the new database credentials. You can enter the instance name and the database name under the new database server
details. The default instance name and database name is displayed as RapportDB.
NOTE
: Even if you choose Windows Authentication, the WDM installation requires the SQL authentication to access the
SQL database. In a standalone installation, after you complete the WDM database installation, the WDM installer takes
care of assigning the active directory user to the database and the same user is used for installing the WDM services.
• Windows Authentication—Enter the new database server details. The default instance name and database name is displayed as
RapportDB.
NOTE
:
– Select Windows Authentication if you want to connect to the WDM database using your Windows login credentials.
– Password must match complexity rules of the Windows operating system.
9 If you have selected the second option in step 7, select the authentication method.
• SQL Server Authentication—This option is selected by default. To congure SQL server authentication, do the following:
1 Select either the Create New User option or Use the existing user option, and then enter the WDM database credentials.
2 Enter the existing database server details such as server hostname, instance name, database name, port number, SQL
administrator name, and password.
