Installing CiscoWorks 3.2

Hi,
I am installing CiscoWorks 3.2 on a Windows 2003 server. I am getting the following error "Cannot create the install dependency file."
Any assistance would be useful.
Thanks...
Shaun

Some of the most basic check points before you begin install is :
> Log in as local administrator account. In any case it is not possible, login as a local account and not a domain admin account.
> Disable any 3rd party application, specially any Anti-Virus for the time being it is installed.
> Disable Windows Data Execution Protection (DEP) 
> Set the per-user and global TEMP and TMP environment variables to short values (e.g. C:\WINDOWS\TEMP)
You should also check the media for its checksum if it is not corrupted. Share install log from c:/ to check further. 
You can check other pre-reqs as best practices on windows install from here.
-Thanks

  • Installing Ciscoworks LMS 4.0 on Windows domain member server.

    Hello.
    I'm looking for some suggestions about installing CiscoWorks LMS 4.0, and upgrade, on a domain member server running Windows 2008 R2 SE 64 bit.
    Thanks.
    Andrea

    Here are the basic install best practices:
    1) Install as a local administrator (this means create a local account and add it
    the "Administrators" group).
    2) My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced -> Environment Variables
    Set the USER TMP and TEMP to a shorten path like
    C:\Windows\temp
    3) Make sure you have FIXED pagefile size like 8182
    My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced -> Performance Options -> Advanced
    4) May need to reboot, certainly log out an back in to make sure step 2 applies.
    5) Stop all anti-virus and firewall during the installation.  Disable them in services and reboot if necessary.
    *  NOTES: Anti-virus can be re-enabled after installation, but you should  EXCLUDE
    the NMSROOT directory as long as LMS is installed on the  server. DEP should
    remain off (that is, set to only protect critical  Windows system files) as long as LMS
    is installed on the server.
    *  If Internet Information Services (IIS) is detected on your system and  if you have
    continued the installation with IIS services, you cannot use  the port number 443 for
    HTTPS. Instead, you must use the port numbers  ranging from 1026 to 65535 for
    HTTPS to avoid this conflict.
    When performing the installation, make sure these two steps are followed:
    *  Install from original, locally attached media
    *  NEVER abort the installation after the installer says not to
    It may not always be possible to install from original, locally attached  media
    (especially on VMs). But you should avoid from installing over  the network as hiccups
    can cause bad installations. If you are  installing on a virtual machine, convert the DVD
    to an ISO image, then  mount that within the VM.
    Here is the document detailing all ports needed to be allowed (excluded from policy)
    for LMS 4.0
    LMS 4.0 Port Usage
    General Notes:
    If you want to upgrade the operating system from Windows 2003 or Windows
    2008 to Windows 2008 R2, you must first complete upgrading the operating
    system, and then install the LMS 4.0.x Windows 2008 R2 patch.
    *  You can install the LMS 4.0.x Windows 2008 R2 patch only on LMS 4.0.x
    and not on the lower version of LMS.
    *  You cannot install Integration Utility and HP Open View 7.x or 8.x on
    Windows 2008 or Windows 2008 R2 servers.

    You should check this sort of things before you start....
    Also 2008 R2 is also a bit special... I'm told
    Cheers,

  • CiscoWorks LMS 4.0.1 is supported on Windows 2008 EE R2 SP1?

    Installing CiscoWorks LMS 4.0.1.
    I need to know if Windows 2008 server EE R2 with SP1 is now supported.
    Many thanks for help.
    Andrea

    Hello,
    Service Pack 1 of Windows 2008 Server Enterprise Edition R2 is not officially supported yet. Reference the readme.
    However, I have applied SP1 to my installation of LMS on Windows Server 2008 EE R2 without breaking it. Your mileage may vary.
    Hope this helps.

  • CiscoWorks LMS 3.2 Won't Start on Windows Server 2008 Enterprise

    All,
    I installed CiscoWorks LMS 3.2 RME on Windows Server 2008 Enterprise and the daemon manager won't start.  The server is a VMware ESX server 4.0.
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled and still nothing.
    I get message "The service is not responding to the control function"
    Has anyone had this issue?
    Stephanie

    There could be several reasons this happens.  Common one in Windows 2008 is the swap is not set properly as it defaults to "Automatically manage paging file size for all drives".  Try setting the swap to 8GB manually or whichever is the recommendation for your current device count as per:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_lan_management_solution/3.2/install/guide1/prereq.html
    Also make sure the startup services are set this way:
    CiscoWorks ANI database engine: Manual
    CiscoWorks Daemon Manager: Automatic
    CiscoWorks RME NG database engine: Manual
    CiscoWorks Tomcat Servlet Engine: Manual
    CiscoWorks Web Server: Manual
    CWCS Cmf database engine: Manual
    CWCS rsh/rcp service: Automatic
    CWCS syslog service: Automatic
    CWCS tftp service: Automatic
    DFM dfmEpm database engine: Manual
    DFM dfmFh database engine: Manual
    DFM dfmInv database engine: Manual
    Set DEP for "Windows Essential Programs Only" and set an exclusion for CSCOpx in your anti-virus on-access scanning settings.  Note that Windows 2008 R2 versions are not supported.

  • Question about LMS 3.2 install on Win Server 2k8 R2

    Hello,
    Dumb question, I know, but I have no pride so here goes...
    I've checked the documentation and just want to confirm the problem I'm having:
    When I try to install LMS 3.2 on a virtual Win Server 2k8 R2 Datacenter platform I get the following error:
    "You cannot install CiscoWorks LMS 3.2 application(s) on an unsupported operating system or when Terminal Services is running on the supported Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition, Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition, and Windows 2003 R2 Server platforms"
    I am, in fact, trying to install the application via a remote session so Terminal Services is running.  I assume this means that my problem is simply that I'm running terminal services since all the different versions of Server 2k8 appear to be supported?
    Thanks very much in advance.

    LMS supports Terminal Services provided the server is running in Remote Administration mode.  Remote Application mode will not work.  That said, Windows 2008 R2 is not supported, and LMS will, in fact, not work on this version.  Support for 2008 R2 is slated for December or January.

  • CiscoWorks LMS 3.2 SMTP configuration giving error

    HI Friends,
    I have installed Ciscoworks 3.2 on Dell poweredge 2950 server, when i try to configure SMTP email notification settings, it's giving me error "Invalid IP address or server name please enter valid SMTP server name"
    Request you to all please help me.

    Hi,
    I had the same situation on my LMS 3.2.
    I had to change the SMTP server and got the message, that the IP-address or name of the server is invalid.
    I changed the file, too. But it is not working.
    For testing I created a new discovery job and the system sends a info mail to for such activity.
    I got the following error message:
    MailID is not given by user. Hence, No mail will be sent for this scheduling.
    Maybe somebody can give more advice to this.
    Thanks,

  • Ciscoworks Daemon manager not starting

    Greetings,
    I have installed Ciscoworks vms ver 2.3 on a windows 2000 box and can start all services except the ciscoworks daemon manager. I have tried reinstalling and verifying permissions but still have the same problem. any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    maybe the user of Ciscoworks was erased or was disabled. Verify the status of the CW user on Windows. I guess the user is named casuser.

  • Is it possible to Unstall LMS software and install it on another platform??

    Hi people,
    I had installed Ciscoworks LMS 3.1 software in  Window server 2003 and was running just fine but now i want to reinstall it on a sun solaries platform.what will be the effect of doing this and whether there are any issues that i may encounter while doing this please assist me coz i want to reinstall it ASAP.
    Thanks

    As yjdabear said, it will be a fresh installation, so think about installing LMS 3.2 instead of LMS 3.1 your license file is valid for that version. You can get an eval version from www.cisco.com/go/nmsevals click on "Network Management Evaluation Products" at the top of the page or enter your contract number after following the link on this site www.cisco.com/upgrade

  • Just installed LMS 3.2 and get "Page Cannot Be Displayed" when trying to access it.

    I installed CiscoWorks LMS 3.2 on a Server 2008 SP1 machine.  Installation went fine.  I am using IE 7.0 on the server to access LMS 3.2.  I get the web interface for the unsecure site but when I provide my login credentials, I get redirected to the 443 site and the generic IE Page Cannot Be Displayed is returned.
