Installation procedure

Tip 1: if the Administration Service and Active Directory resources are separated by a firewall, some ports must be open. See Required ports article.

To install the Admin Console only, Domain Administrator's permissions are required. If you run the installation using a non-admin account, you will see a dialog box that prompts you for administrator credentials. For details please see How to install the Cayosoft Administrator Console on an Admin's Workstation – Cayosoft Help Center.
