BCX Network Management Tools Installation Assistant

Use the links below for details of installer steps during use of the Installation Assistant.

Prerequisites

Version 4 requires .NET 4.7.2 or later.

If this is not installed, the Installation Assistant will try and make this easier by offering to automate the process if the check fails. All that is needed is the install media relevant to the edition of Windows Server that you are installing the BCX Management Tools on. Once mounted, it can be browsed to and the Installation Assistant will add the feature for you.

Packages

The client service runs under the context of the local computer SYSTEM account. When installing packages from a package task, the installer is ran within the same context as the client service. For this reason, when the computer authenticates itself against the shared package location, the computer account needs permission to access the shared location. When creating a new location this is done automatically, when using an existing location these options can be set manually or the Installation Assistant can attempt to change them for you. Below is an example of the security permissions set correctly on the folder.

If you don't already have an existing central packages location, or want to start a new collection of software, the location can exist on the new BCX Management Server. Otherwise use your existing location if you already deploy software in a similar fashion.
