Single-Computer
CMSU_SPV_Develop_API_MPF--Deployment.xml
The Microsoft®
Provisioning Framework (MPF) can be installed on any workgroup
computer, member server, or Microsoft® Active Directory® domain
controller.
The hardware and software prerequisites for installing MPF are
the same for all computer types. However, requirements vary
depending on the MPF components installed. For detailed
information, see System
Requirements.
Note The following instructions assume you are installing
MPF by running
Setup.exe, since single computers are normally installed that
way. For information on installing from the command line or script,
see Unattended
Installations.
Setting up a workgroup computer
CMSU_SPV_Develop_API_MPF--Deployment.xml on a workgroup computer
is usually done only for development or evaluation purposes.
Setup.exe assumes that the installation mode is local, so the
Installation Mode screen does not display. (This only
displays for member servers.)
After launching Setup.exe, enter the following.
- In the welcome screen, click Next.
- In the License Agreement screen, click I accept the
terms in the license agreement, then Next.
- In the Customer Information screen, enter your user name
and organization, then click Next.
- In the Setup Type screen, click Typical or
Custom, then Next.
Typical installs all MPF components except the ISAPI Extension and
Sample Provisioning Website and Database. (To install these
components, you must rerun Setup.exe using the Custom
option.) Custom installs individual components. If you click
Custom, a Custom Setup screen displays in which you
de-select the components you do not wish to install. (By
default, the components for a typical install are already
selected.)
- In the MPF Account Passwords screen, enter and confirm
the passwords for the MPF service account and/or client account,
then click Next.
Depending on the components to be installed, Setup.exe creates a
service account and/or a client account in Active Directory. The
service account (MPFServiceAcct) is the default user account for
the Provisioning
Engine, Queue Manager,
and Audit and
Recovery Manager components. The client account (MPFClientAcct)
is the user account for the client that receives provisioning
requests submitted to MPF. For more information on how these
accounts are used in MPF security, see MPF
Accounts.
Note If you cancel an MPF setup, you must delete these
accounts manually before re-attempting setup. For more information,
see Readme.htm.
- In the Ready to Install screen, click Next.
The Installing MPF screen displays.
- When installation is finished, a completion screen displays.
Make a note of the MPF product ID, then click Finish.
Setting up a member server
Determine in advance whether the deployment is local or domain
before executing setup. For a domain deployment, you must either
log in as a domain administrator or have a domain administrator set
up the required MPF accounts and groups, using the procedure
described in Domain
CMSU_SPV_Develop_API_MPF--Deployment.xml for Local
Administrators.
After launching Setup.exe, enter the following.
- In the welcome screen, click Next.
- In the License Agreement screen, click I accept the
terms in the license agreement, then Next.
- In the Customer Information screen, enter your user name
and organization, then click Next.
- In the Setup Type screen, click Typical or
Custom, then Next.
Typical installs all MPF components except the ISAPI Extension and
Sample Provisioning Website and Database. (To install these
components, you must rerun Setup.exe using the Custom
option.) Custom installs individual components. If you click
Custom, a Custom Setup screen displays in which you
de-select the components you do not wish to install. (By
default, the components for a typical install are already
selected.)
- In the Installation Mode screen, click Local or
Domain, then click Next.
Local indicates that the installation is for a stand-alone
computer used for development or evaluation purposes. Domain
indicates that the installation involves multiple computers that
will communicate with each other. The Installation Mode
screen displays only for member servers, which can be either local
or domain. (If the computer is a workgroup computer, Setup.exe
automatically assumes that installation is local; conversely, for
domain controllers, it assumes that installation is domain.)
- In the MPF Account Passwords screen, enter and confirm
the passwords for the MPF service account and/or client account,
then click Next.
Depending on the components to be installed, Setup.exe creates a
service account and/or a client account in Active Directory. The
service account (MPFServiceAcct) is the default user account for
the Provisioning
Engine, Queue Manager,
and Audit and
Recovery Manager components. The client account (MPFClientAcct)
is the user account for the client that receives provisioning
requests submitted to MPF. For more information on how these
accounts are used in MPF security, see MPF
Accounts.
Note If you cancel an MPF setup, you must delete these
accounts manually before re-attempting setup. For more information,
see Readme.htm.
- In the Ready to Install screen, click Next.
The Installing MPF screen displays.
- When installation is finished, a completion screen displays.
Make a note of the MPF product ID, then click Finish.
Setting up a domain controller
Due to operational and security requirements, it is unlikely
that you will install MPF on a domain controller. However, you can
do it.
Setup.exe assumes that the installation mode is domain, so the
Installation Mode screen does not display. (This only
displays for member servers.)
After launching Setup.exe, enter the following.
- In the welcome screen, click Next.
- In the License Agreement screen, click I accept the
terms in the license agreement, then Next.
- In the Customer Information screen, enter your user name
and organization, then click Next.
- In the Setup Type screen, click Typical or
Custom, then Next.
Typical installs all MPF components except the ISAPI Extension and
Sample Provisioning Website and Database. (To install these
components, you must rerun Setup.exe using the Custom
option.) Custom installs individual components. If you click
Custom, a Custom Setup screen displays in which you
de-select the components you do not wish to install. (By
default, the components for a typical install are already
selected.)
- In the MPF Account Passwords screen, enter and confirm
the passwords for the MPF service account and/or client account,
then click Next.
Depending on the components to be installed, Setup.exe creates a
service account and/or a client account in Active Directory. The
service account (MPFServiceAcct) is the default user account for
the Provisioning
Engine, Queue Manager,
and Audit and
Recovery Manager components. The client account (MPFClientAcct)
is the user account for the client that receives provisioning
requests submitted to MPF. For more information on how these
accounts are used in MPF security, see MPF
Accounts.
Note If you cancel an MPF setup, you must delete these
accounts manually before re-attempting setup. For more information,
see Readme.htm.
- In the Ready to Install screen, click Next.
The Installing MPF screen displays.
- When installation is finished, a completion screen displays.
Make a note of the MPF product ID, then click Finish.
Removing MPF
You can remove or modify an MPF installation from Control Panel
Add/Remove Programs, Setup.exe, or the command line. For more
information, see Removing or
Modifying Components.
