4 Enterprise Server Installation
4.1 Enterprise Server Overview
The Enterprise Server Installer includes the Database, PIN server, Admin web portal, and Client download
page.
The Enterprise Server contains 4 components:
1) Microsoft SQL database: maintains all status information for the Intel Unite solution infrastructure.
2) Web Service: a standardized messaging service that communicates with the database and the
Hubs and Clients.
3) Administration Portal Website: manages Hubs and Clients, generates statistics, and provides
monitoring and alerting.
4) Client download landing webpage: contains the Intel Unite software for the Client.
In addition, it is important to know that the Hubs and Clients locate your Enterprise Server on your network
infrastructure through one of the following two methods: ServerConfig.xml file or DNS Service Record.
It is recommended that you use the DNS service record as this enables zero-touch configuration for the
Client and Hub. See section on Creating a DNS Service Record. However, if you are not able to acquire a
DNS service record, the Enterprise Server can be configured in the ServerConfig.xml file. See Appendix B for
Example of a ServerConfig.xml file.
4.2 Enterprise Server Pre-Installation
 Verify that the Server meets the minimum software and hardware requirements specified.
 Verify that IIS version 8.0 or greater is installed on your Server. The Server installer requires IIS to
be enabled, otherwise installation will fail. For help enabling and setting up IIS, see section on
Enabling IIS.
 Setup the SMTP email server under IIS Manager, see section
