to complete the installation.

Note:

For Windows NT 4.0, AWM will automatically install WbEM

core or WbEM SNMP Provider if not installed. For Windows 2000,
the WbEM core is built-in. AWM will only install the WbEM SNMP
Provider if it is not yet installed. After installing either of these
components, reboot your system.

Setting up Microsoft IIS

To set up Microsoft IIS:

1

Open your IIS configuration program and check the virtual
directory setting. The IIS setup program is located in the Windows
NT Server Optional CD. You can also download it from the
Microsoft Website.

2

Check the virtual directory. If there is no virtual directory for
AWM, create one and name it AWM. Point it to the directory
where the AWM main files are installed (e.g. D:/AWM).

Note:

If you have IIS version 5.0 the directory is automatically

added.
