4.2 Setting up the server

Specify necessary information on each page of the Server Setup dialog box. When you finish, click the OK button. The Setup dialog box is displayed again.

To update Server settings, after you finish with the JP1/Software Distribution Manager setup, open Control Panel, choose Administrative Tools, and then choose Services to restart the Remote Install Server service.

The table below describes the Server setup items. If you have installed only Remote Installation Manager, the only pages that are displayed at setup are Database Environment, Communication, WSUS Linkage, and Audit Log.
