2.4.1 Overview of building a multi-server configuration system
To build a multi-server configuration system, first build a management server and a database server, and then install an agent on the computers that will be managed.
- Important note
-
Before building a system, specify the following settings in Date & Time in Control Panel in Windows:
- On the Date & Time page, synchronize the date and time of the management server and the date and time of the database server.
- On the Time Zone page, set the same time zone for the management server and the database server.
During operation, we recommend that you select the Automatically synchronize with an Internet time server on the Internet Time page.

On a computer that runs Windows 8, do not specify the following folders during installation:
