Supplemental server prerequisites
Before you begin
Steps
- Set the installation partition to 1 NTFS Partition.
- Configure Regional Settings to match the primary location (the location of the management server). If necessary, add supplemental language support and adjust the default language for non-Unicode programs.
- Configure the network connection to have a static IP address.
- Make sure that the server hostname does not include an underscore sign.
- Enable Short Directory Names and Short File Names (see support.microsoft.com/kb/121007).
- Create a local administrator to be used as a service account.
If the deployment includes more than one Forcepoint DLP server, use a domain account (preferred), or the use same local user name and password on each machine. Do not change the service account.
- Be sure to set the system time accurately on the server.
-
Exclude the following directories from antivirus scanning:
- The folder where Forcepoint DLP was installed. For supplemental servers, this is Program Files (x86)\Websense\, by default.
- *:\Inetpub\mailroot\*.* - (typically at the OS folder)
- *:\Inetpub\wwwroot\*.* - (typically at the OS folder)
- C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Temp\*.*
- %WINDIR%\Temp\*.*
- The forensics repository (configurable; defaults to the product installation directory)
-
If a Lotus Notes client is installed on the machine (to allow fingerprinting and discovery on a Lotus Domino server), be sure to:
- Create at least one user account with administrator privileges for the Domino environment. (Read permissions are not sufficient.)
- Be sure that the Lotus Notes installation is done for “Anyone who uses this computer.”
- Connect to the Lotus Domino server from the Lotus Notes client.
- Ensure that the Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable version 2022 (or later) is installed before installing the Forcepoint DLP Manager.
