toptools
Networking requirements:
Access
IP Addressing
IPX Addressing
Installing toptools on a system participating in a Windows domain is recommended because:
•
Access through IIS is available through Windows user accounts and may be configured through the domain.
•
WMI management security uses Windows user accounts to grant or deny access. The toptools admin account in
the domain typically has sufficient access to WMI data on systems within the same or trusted domains. If you
install into a workgroup, you will need to explicitly grant access permission to the toptools admin account on
each WMI based system you wish to manage.
Software requirements:
Operating System
Service Pack
SNMP
Web Server
Most required and optional software is either included in the Operating System (such as WBEM in Windows 2000)
or provided in the toptools installation such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0, Windows NT Option Pack
components or WBEM (for Windows NT). Only the Windows NT SNMP service and the Windows 2000 SNMP
and IIS services will require that you provide a CD, and you will be prompted by the installation wizard for the CD
if necessary.
The toptools server system should be configured with a paging file large enough to accommodate the size of the
hard drives, operating system, and web server, plus toptools applications. Typically, 150 MB paging file is
sufficient. Refer to Windows documentation for more information on optimizing and managing virtual memory.

•
Local Administrator (if installing in a Workgroup environment)
•
Domain Administrator if installing into a Windows NT or 2000 Domain.
Required.
•
If using DHCP, IP address for the toptools server must be 'reserved'.
•
Verify that the IP hostname matches the hostname entry for the IP
address in the DNS server. This may be accomplished by running the
program nslookup.exe.
Optional. Microsoft IPX/SPX and Netware Client Services are needed to
manage Novell Netware clients and servers that are not running TCP/IP. If
not installed, you may add this component after toptools installation.
•
Windows NT 4.0 Server or Workstation
•
Windows 2000 Professional or Server editions
Required:
Windows NT SP 5 or 6a for NT. If neither of these are
installed, the toptools installation will install SP 6a.
Required. If not installed, you will be prompted during installation to provide
the Operating System installation CD. Windows NT Service Pack 6a will be
reapplied after installation of SNMP.
Required:
Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) or Personal Web
Server.
•
Windows NT – included as part of toptools installation
•
Windows 2000 – you will be prompted for the Operating System
installation CD if IIS is not detected.
