Step 2: Start the management server installation

Before you begin

Before installing management server components on a supported Windows server, make sure you have prepared the machine (including downloading the installer file) as described in Prepare your Windows servers.
Important: During the installation process, if you encounter the error “Installation failed with error code 3004”, refer to Potential issue when installing v8.5.4 and v8.5.5 for instructions.

To begin the installation process:

Steps

  1. Log on to the machine.
  2. Use the Run as administrator option to launch the Forcepoint85xSetup.exe installer.
    Important: If you are installing Forcepoint DLP components, run the installer using a dedicated account that you want services to use when interacting with the operating system. Do not change this account after installation. If you must change the account, contact Technical Support first.

    After a few seconds, a progress dialog box appears, as files are extracted.

  3. On the Welcome screen, click Start.
  4. On the Subscription Agreement screen, select I accept this agreement, then click Next.
  5. On the Installation Type screen:
    1. Select Forcepoint Security Manager.
    2. Mark the Forcepoint Web Security or Forcepoint URL Filtering check box.
    3. If you have purchased the Forcepoint Web Security DLP Module, also mark the Forcepoint DLP check box.
    4. Click Next.

    On the second Installation Type screen:

    1. If the option is available, select Use the SQL Server database installed on another machine.

      Otherwise, simply make sure you have a supported version of Microsoft SQL Server installed in your network. See the Certified Product Matrix for a list of supported versions.

    2. Click Next.
  6. On the Summary screen, click Next to continue the installation. Forcepoint Management Infrastructure Setup launches.
