Install Guide

What do I do when the creation of WinRM listener fails with the following
error message?
The CertificateThumbprint property must be empty when the SSL configuration will be
shared with another service
This error occurs when the Internet Information Server (IIS) is already installed and configured for HTTPS communication.
Details about coexistence of IIS and WinRM is available at technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc782312.aspx.
In this case, use the following command to create a HTTPS Listener with the CertificateThumbprint empty:
winrm create winrm/config/Listener?Address=*+Transport=HTTPS
@{Hostname="<host_name>";CertificateThumbprint=""}
What are the firewall-related configuration that needs to be done for
WinRM?
With firewall turned ON, WinRM must be added to the firewall exclusion list to allow TCP port 443 for HTTPS traffic.
When launching the Systems Management Install, an error message may
display, stating a failure to load a specific library, a denial of access, or
an initialization error. An example of installation failure during Systems
Management Install is "failed to load OMIL32.DLL." What do I do?
This is most likely due to insufficient Component Object Model (COM) permissions on the system. To remedy this situation, see
the article support.installshield.com/kb/view.asp?articleid=Q104986
The Systems Management Install may also fail if a previous installation of systems management software or some other
software product was unsuccessful. Delete the following temporary windows installer registry, if present:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\InProgress
I get a misleading warning or error message during systems management
installation.
If you have insufficient disk space on the Windows system drive, you may encounter misleading warning or error messages when
you run systems management Install. Additionally, windows installer requires space to temporarily extract the installer package
to the %TEMP% folder. Ensure that you have sufficient disk space (100 MB or more) on the system drive prior to running
systems management Install.
I am getting the following error message while launching systems
management Install:
An older version of Server Administrator software is detected on this system. You must
uninstall all previous versions of Server Administrator applications before installing
this version
If you see this error when trying to launch systems management Install, it is recommended that you run the OMClean.exe
program, under the SYSMGMT\srvadmin\support\OMClean directory, to remove an older version of Server Administrator
on the system.
