Would someone be able to kindly tell me whether I can install the Management Reporter on a stand alone server, along with a client?. And if so, how would I have to configure my machine, to be able to successfully connect to MR?.

I am somewhat confused about this application that supposedly requires Domains and Active Directories, and creating user accounts that take so much time to replicate through AD. I am hoping someone can throw some light on this matter, and ease my headache. No matter what approach I take, something seems to be going wrong.

Your expertise and insight is most appreciated. Looking forward to an early response.

Thank You to all in advance.

Re: Management Reporter

Technically you can. But, you must have your machine set up as a domain controller and you must have IIS running on it because IIS is how the reports are delivered.

Re: Re: Management Reporter

Hi Charles: Thank you so much for the prompt response. I was beginning to wonder if it be possible at all. I am goint to configure my machine as a Domain Controller in a domain, and make sure IIS 6.0 is running.

Should I run into any issues, may I drop you a note? - If not I can do another posting, if it is asking too much of you. But I appreciate your guidance. Thank you very much.

Re: Management Reporter

Are you installing MR stand alone for testing purposes?

I did mine through vpc, could be your other option. I nominated the server inside the image 'guest' as my domain.

I had setup MR on a standalone PC last month, I documented my progress along with some resources here - http://www.jivtesh.com/2010/07/management-reporter-installation-guides.html

Take a look, hopefully it will save you some time.

Re: Re: Management Reporter

Thanks Sunbeam: Your response and suggestions are appreciated. I am not so fond of the VPC option, since I am going to do many demos and training sessions, and VPC's did not quite cut the mustard in the past. I decided to setup a separate partition and load MR and all its features.

Thank you so much & kind regards,

Deesom.
