This section explains the various steps involved in the Installation and Uninstallation of IT360. The installation steps slightly differ for each of the 3 editions of IT360, but are common for all modules (i.e., Network, Servers & Applications and Traffic) in IT360, except the Storage module, for which the installation steps are documented separately.
This section handles the following:
OpStor - IT360 Installation/Uninstallation Procedures
Note: If you use underscore [ _ ], you will not be able to access certain services on TCP/IP networks, as it may affect IT360 service startup.
You should have decided by now, on the required edition of IT360 - Either Professional Edition, or Enterprise Edition, or MSP Edition.
Ensure that the System Requirements are properly met with.
Download the Latest version of ManageEngine IT360.
If you want Failover support, it is suggested that you use Microsoft SQL as the backend database.
In case, you plan to use Microsoft SQL as the backend database, make sure that you have Configured Microsoft SQL Server for ManageEngine IT360 installation.
Make sure that you have properly configured DNS for the Server, in which IT360 is to be installed.

Double click on 'ManageEngine_IT360.exe' and follow the screens, which are self-explanatory. A brief description of the screens is given below.
Go through the License Agreement carefully, and click 'Yes' to accept and proceed further.
Selecting Edition: Choose 'Professional Edition', from the available options, for installation in your environment, and click 'Next'.

Shortcut Name: Specify the shortcut name which should appear in the 'Start Menu'. Click 'Next'.
Ports and Secure Communication: You may use the default port as displayed, or, you may specify the port of your choice. You may also choose to change the type of communication - 'http' or 'https'. [The default port number for an HTTP connection is 8080. The default port number for an HTTPS connection is 8443. When you decide to use a different port number, ensure those ports are free. The following ports are generally required in IT360: 1100, 2001, 8080, 8100, 8200, 8300, 8400, 8005 and 8009.]. Click 'Next'.
Note: The system locale or language in the system, in which the IT360 application runs, should be the same as that of the language chosen in this wizard. [The system locale can be set from; 'Control Panel -> Region and Language -> Administrative -> Change system locale']

If no Named Instance is available for the Microsoft SQL server, just leave the ‘Instance Name’field, blank.
Note: If Microsoft SQL is running on the same server, where IT360 is installed, the IT360 modules may get started, even before the database actually starts. To avoid this, change the Startup Type for the IT360 services as 'Automatic (Delayed Start)', by following the below steps;
Go to ‘services.msc’.
Right click on the 'ManageEngine IT360 Central' service or 'ManageEngine IT360 Probe' service, as applicable.
- Select ‘Properties’, change the 'Startup type' to 'Automatic (delayed start)' and click ‘OK’.

This section describes the installation steps for the Enterprise Edition. This edition has Distributed Architecture and works in a Central Server - Probe model. The Central Server is the master server that displays the data, obtained by the Probe Server from remote location. This data is displayed in a centralized console view. While installing this Edition, you first need to install the Central Server, followed by the Probe Server, in the remote location(s).
Recommended Configuration: It is recommended that you install the Central and the Probe in different systems rather than on the same system, i.e. install Central Server in System 1 and Probe Server in System 2, System 3, etc.
Double click on 'ManageEngine_IT360.exe' and follow the screens, which are self-explanatory. A brief description of the screens is given below.
Go through the License Agreement and then click 'Yes' to accept it to proceed to the installation folder.
Selecting the Edition: Choose 'Enterprise Edition', from the available options, for installation in your environment, and click 'Next'.
Server Selection: Choose the type of installation as 'Central Server' and click 'Next'.

Shortcut Name: Specify the shortcut name that you would want in the Start Menu. Click 'Next'.
Ports and Secure Communication: You may use the default port as displayed, or, you may specify the port of your choice. You may also choose to change the type of communication - 'http' or 'https'. [The default port number for an HTTP connection is 8080. The default port number for an HTTPS connection is 8443.
When you decide to use a different port number, ensure those ports are free. The following ports are generally required in IT360: 8443, 1100, 2001, 8080, 8100, 8200, 8300, 8400, 8005 and 8009.]. Click 'Next'.
Note: Please note that while installing the Enterprise Edition, you must select similar protocols for both Central and Probe Servers. For
example, if you have chosen 'http' for Central Server, ensure you have selected the same protocol while installing Probe Server.
Note: The system locale or language in the system, in which the IT360 application runs, should be the same as that of the language chosen in this wizard. [The system locale can be set from; 'Control Panel -> Region and Language -> Administrative -> Change system locale']
Personal Information: Enter your personal details, such as ‘Name (mandatory)’, ‘Email Address’, ‘Phone’, ‘Company Name (mandatory)’and ‘Country’. Click 'Next'.

If no Named Instance is available for the Microsoft SQL server, just leave the ‘Instance Name’field, blank.
If IT360 is installed as the Standby server, then the ‘Create Database’ checkbox need not be checked.
Note: If Microsoft SQL is running on the same server, where IT360 is installed, the IT360 modules may get started, even before the database actually starts. To avoid this, change the Startup Type for the IT360 services as 'Automatic (Delayed Start)', by following the below steps;
Go to ‘services.msc’.
Right click on the 'ManageEngine IT360 Central' service or 'ManageEngine IT360 Probe' service, as applicable.
