Setting Up Your Environment to Use Rapport Software

Before installing Rapport software, ensure that your network and server meet the following
system, third-party, and port requirements.

System Requirements
Any one of the following operating systems is required:
• Windows 2000 Professional (SP3 or higher)
• Windows 2000 Server (SP3 or higher)
• Windows 2000 Advanced Server (SP3 or higher)
• Windows XP Professional
Ensure that your system has the minimum system requirements shown in Table 1:

Table 1 Minimum system requirements

Requirement Minimum Recommended

Clock Speed 700 MHz 2 GHz

Memory 256 MB 512 MB

Minimum Free Space 500 MB 720 MB

Note
The actual free space required depends on the number and size of the
packages you register as well as the number of devices you will be managing
(the Rapport Database size). This minimum space assumes the Rapport
Database and packages consume 500 MB.

Third-Party Software Requirements

Rapport software uses third-party software to operate properly. During installation,
Rapport software checks the system to determine whether the third-party components are
present. If they are not, Rapport software indicates which components are missing. Some
of the third-party software is available on the Rapport installation CD. The other software
is available from your OS CD-ROM or from the network location for your system files
(often grouped under the I386 folder).
Rapport Management Software uses the following third-party software:
• Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) version 2.8
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) is the key technology that enables
Universal Data Access. Data-driven, client/server applications deployed over the Web
or a LAN can use these components to integrate information from a variety of relational
 3

(SQL) and non-relational sources. These components include Microsoft ActiveX Data
Objects (ADO), OLE DB, and Open Database Connectivity (ODBC).

Note
Although Rapport Management Software requires MDAC 2.7, it is
recommended to use MDAC 2.8. Rapport Management Software 4.4 installs
MDAC 2.8 if it is not already present.

• Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5

The MDAC installation requires Microsoft's Internet Explorer (IE) 5.5 or later. In
addition, IE 5.5 enables the Visual Basic components used by the Rapport installation
wizard and the Rapport Help File.
• SQL Server 2000/Microsoft Data Engine (MSDE 2000)
The Rapport SQL Database can be installed into an existing installation of SQL Server
2000 or it can be attached to an instance of MSDE 2000.

About the Desktop Engine

The Desktop Engine is a distributable version of the MS SQL Server relational database
engine. To learn more about the Desktop Engine, refer to the Rapport Help File.

About MS SQL Server

Rapport software supports the following MS SQL Server 2000 versions:
• SQL Server 2000 Personal Edition
• SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition
• SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (also known as MSDE)

Note
By default, Rapport software installs MSDE 2000. To use an SQL Server
2000 Personal Edition or an SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition, you must
perform a Custom installation (for custom installation procedures, refer to
“Custom Installation” on page 8).
4

Port Requirements
To perform their full range of management functions, Rapport components require certain
ports to remain open on your servers, routers, and switches. Table 2 lists the ports
Rapport software uses and describes the respective communication protocols and their
function.

Port Requirements for HTTP

Rapport software relies on the HTTP communications port designated by your Web
service (for example, Microsoft Internet Information Service) for push operations. Push
refers to operations initiated by Rapport software and sent (pushed) to devices.
Push operations include:
• Issuing quick device commands (such as Refresh Device Information, Reboot, Change
Device or Network Information, Get Device Configuration, and so on)
• Distributing packages at a specific time (either immediately or at a specific date and
time)

Note
Typically, port 80 is designated as the HTTP port. However, if port 80 (or the
designated HTTP port) is closed, Rapport software will be unable to push
updates or quick commands to devices.
6

Installing Rapport Management Software

Wyse Rapport software uses five major components to deploy its management functions,
and gives you complete control over the devices in your network.
The Rapport components are installed in the following order:
1. Database
The Database stores and provides access to all of the information for device
management, including logging, packages, user data, and Remote Software
Repository information.
2. Software Repository
The Software Repository stores Rapport packages.
3. Web Services
Web Services uses HTTP to enable push and pull communications to devices
equipped with the Rapport Web Agent.
4. Standard Services
Standard Services allows Rapport software to:
• Manage devices through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) if
SNMP runs as a service on the device.
• Execute pre-boot management functions on devices that support the Preboot
EXecution Environment (PXE).
• Upgrade older Rapport Web Agents (5.0.0.x) to the new Rapport Web Agent.
5. User Interface
The User Interface allows you to perform all device-management functions and provide
visual feedback to your operations.

About the Rapport Installation Wizard

The Rapport installation wizard automatically detects and helps you perform a new
installation or an upgrade installation of the Rapport software.

New Installation
If you launch the Rapport installation wizard on a system without Rapport components, the
wizard detects this and automatically helps you to perform a new installation.

Upgrade Installation
If you launch the Rapport installation wizard on a system with Rapport components, the
wizard detects these components and automatically helps you to perform an upgrade
installation. In an upgrade case however, you can still choose to install the Rapport
software over an existing installation of Rapport software.

Note
Rapport software version 4.4 upgrades all previous 4.x versions of Rapport
software. It does not upgrade 3.x versions of Rapport software.
 7

Installation Types
The two types of installations are Typical and Custom.

Note
Custom installations options may differ depending on the Sale Key (license)
used.

Typical Installation
In a Typical installation, the Rapport installation wizard selects the most common
installation options.

Note
A Typical installation selects the most common installation options regardless
of the Sale Key entered. All components are installed on a single server
using the default options.

Table 3 summarizes the Typical installation options for each of the Rapport components.

Table 3 Typical installation options

Rapport Component Typical Installation Option

Rapport Database The wizard installs an instance of MSDE 2000 as the

database.

Software Repository The wizard reconfigures Microsoft's Internet Information

Services (IIS) FTP service, creates a local Rapport user, and
assigns the user read/write permissions to FTP.

Web (HTTP) Service The wizard reconfigures Microsoft's Internet Information

Services (IIS) Web service.

Standard Services The wizard installs Standard Services (which requires SNMP
to be installed).

Rapport User The wizard installs the Rapport User Interface, an MMC
Interface snap-in.

Caution
It is highly recommended that you DO NOT install Rapport software on any
server which is currently dedicated to other tasks (such as a Domain
Controller, Backup Controller, Mail Server, Production Web Server, DHCP
Server, MSMQ Server, Application Server, and so on). It is highly
recommended that Rapport software be installed on a server that is
dedicated to Rapport services.
8

Custom Installation
In a Custom installation, the Rapport installation wizard allows you to select configuration
options other than the default options. When performing a Custom installation of Rapport
software, be sure to perform the installation of the components in the order described in
“Installing Rapport Management Software” on page 6.

Note
An Enterprise Sale Key allows the components to be installed on one to five
servers in any combination if the Database is installed first, and the Software
Repository is installed second.

Table 4 summarizes the Custom installation options for each of the Rapport components.

Table 4 Custom installation options

Rapport Component Custom Installation Option

Rapport Database You can select an existing instance of SQL Server 2000 or
allow the wizard to install an instance of MSDE 2000 as the
database. If the wizard does not detect an instance of SQL
Server 2000, installation of MSDE 2000 is the only option
available.

Software Repository You can select an existing FTP service or allow the wizard to
reconfigure Microsoft's Internet Information Services (IIS) FTP
service.
If you are using an existing FTP service, the wizard prompts
you for an IP address, username, and password (Workgroup
licenses allow local IP addresses only). The wizard attempts to
connect to the FTP service to ensure connectivity and read/
write permissions. The Rapport software verifies an existing
connection. It does not configure FTP.
If you are using IIS FTP, the wizard creates a local Rapport
user and assigns the user read/write permissions to FTP.

Web (HTTP) Service The wizard reconfigures Microsoft's Internet Information

Services (IIS) Web service.

Standard Services The wizard installs Standard Services (which requires SNMP
to be installed).

Rapport User The wizard installs the Rapport User Interface, an MMC
Interface snap-in.

Caution
It is highly recommended that you DO NOT install Rapport software on any
server which is currently dedicated to other tasks (such as a Domain
Controller, Backup Controller, Mail Server, Production Web Server, DHCP
Server, MSMQ Server, Application Server, and so on). It is highly
 9

recommended that Rapport software be installed on a server that is

dedicated to Rapport services.

Note
Be aware of the following:

• Web Services, Standard Service, and User Interface require MDAC 2.8.
• If your network has multiple subnets, consider deploying a copy of the Rapport
Software Repository on each subnet. A Software Repository on each subnet allows
you to store large device applications and image files locally. When you distribute
upgrades to one or more devices on a subnet from a local repository, you reduce
network traffic.
• Rapport software uses SQL authentication. Since there is not an SQL-only mode,
Rapport software utilizes Mixed Mode authentication. Be aware that if you are using
an existing SQL Server that was installed using Windows authentication mode only,
the Rapport Database user will be unable to log-in to the SQL database, and the
installation will fail.

Configuring Rapport Software

This section provides information on how to configure the Rapport software after
installation is complete.

Database Configuration Wizard

After you initially launch the Rapport software, the Database Configuration Wizard
automatically opens. This wizard helps you to enter the configuration information required
10

for Rapport software to start working with the devices on your network. After completing
the wizard, you can start discovering and managing devices with Rapport software.
Use the guidelines in Table 5 to complete the Database Configuration Wizard.

Discovering Devices
Device discovery is the process by which Rapport software becomes aware of the devices
on your network and stores information about them in the Rapport Database. After
Rapport software stores device information in its database, you can use the full range of
Rapport functions to manage your devices.
Table 6 describes the two methods Rapport software uses for discovering the devices on
your network.

Table 6 Discovery methods

Discovery Methods Description

Dynamic Discovery Once the Web Agent on any device is aware of the location of
(Web Agent the Rapport Web Service (see Linking Devices with the Rapport
check-in) Web Service, in the Rapport Help File), the Web Agent
checks-in periodically with the Rapport Web Service. This form
of check-in is based on pull communications because the Web
Agent initiates communications. At check-in time, the Web
Agent provides the Rapport Web Service with a set of device
information, such as:
• Device Name
• Hardware information (platform, flash size, memory, CPU,
asset number, serial number, and so on)
• Network Information (WINS, DNS, IP address, Domain
Name, subnet, and so on)
• Image Number
• Software inventory (application names and versions)
• Rapport Web Agent version
Note: You can control the parameter for check-in frequency
through the Device Manager Preferences.

Manual Discovery You instruct Rapport software to discover devices on command

(see Discovering Devices, in the Rapport Help File). This
discovery method uses push communications because the
Rapport Services initiate the operation.
When you select this method of device discovery, you can
specify whether to discover devices through a UDP broadcast
or through a TCP connection to every device. To limit the scope
of a dynamic discovery, you can specify a subnet or a range of
IP addresses.
12

Managing Devices
This section provides important information about managing your devices.

Enabling Device Security (Enterprise-Only Feature)

Rapport software allows you to set a Device Manager System preference that prevents
unauthorized Rapport installations from managing your devices. When the Enable Device
Security feature is set, the Rapport Web Agent and the Rapport Web Service enter into a
secure relationship. In this relationship, both the device and the Web Service share a
unique security certificate.
Before processing any Rapport requests, the Web Agent on the device verifies the
certificate. If the Web Service certificate matches its certificate, the Web Agent allows the
device to perform the requested functions or instructions. If the certificates do not match,
the Web Agent prevents the device from complying with any requests.
If you decide to enable device security, be sure to keep a copy of your certificate number
in a safe place. If your Rapport installation becomes corrupt and you must reinstall the
software, you will receive a new certificate number after installation. However, without the
original certificate number you will not be able to manage your devices. Therefore,
Rapport software provides you with the options of changing a security certificate to a new
one or restoring an older certificate.

Web Agents
The Web Agent is a service that runs on managed devices and communicates with the
Rapport Web Server. The Web Agent listens for and processes commands from the Web
Server and periodically checks-in to the server to report its status.

Creating Software Packages

A software package is a list of instructions to perform a specific set of actions on a device.
Generally, Rapport software uses software packages to distribute updates to your devices.
However, a software package can also retrieve or delete software or data from a device,
reboot a device, or completely re-image a device. Some software packages come
pre-registered in Rapport software (for example, Web Agent updates). Your Sales
Representative can offer additional software packages for your specific needs.
 13

Table 7 describes the two elements of a software package.

Table 7 Software package elements

Element Description

Rapport A Rapport script file contains a Version header and a Script section. The
Script File header contains the information about the software package. This
(.rsp file) information includes the minimum storage size of the intended devices, the
category under which the package is stored, the intended operating
system, and so on. The script section contains script commands that are
executed sequentially to make changes on the device (for example, file or
registry changes).

Package The package folder contains all the necessary files for the package to be
folder deployed and executed on the intended devices. Be aware that a package
folder always accompanies a software package, even if there are no files
in the folder. For example, a package that retrieves device registry data
can consist of an .rsp file and an empty package folder.

Note
Be aware of the following:

• With the exception of the .rsp file extension, the .rsp file and the folder are named
identically.
• When a package is registered into the Rapport software, the Script File (.rsp) is
stored in the database and the package folder is stored in the Master Software
Repository. These files can be synchronized from the Master Software Repository
to remote software repositories on demand.
• To create custom software packages, contact your Sales Representative.

Scripts
Scripts (see Figure 1) are part of a Rapport software package. Software packages consist
of a folder containing files that are sent to a device and a script containing commands to
be processed by the Web Agent. Rapport Scripting Language consists of two command
sets that are used with either Web Agents or SNMP devices (see Rapport Scripting
Language, in the Rapport Help File). The Rapport Scripting Language is a scripting
language used to perform basic tasks such as copying files and modifying the registry of
the devices that the Rapport software manages. The Rapport scripting language is not a
programming language because it does not support looping, branching, and the use of
subroutines. However, it does contain a small command set to allow it to perform a variety
of routine functions.
14

Figure 1 Example of a script

About Groups and Views

This section provides important information about groups and views.

Groups
Rapport software uses the following three methods to assign devices to groups (in the first
two methods, Rapport software performs the device assignment without your direct
intervention):
• System values of each device
When discovering a device, Rapport software examines the system values of the
device (platform, vendor ID, OS, and so on). Rapport software then groups the newly
discovered devices into the corresponding pre-defined group types automatically.
• Custom Group Type and Group associated with a subnet (Enterprise-Only
Feature)
When you define a subnet, Rapport software allows you to specify whether the devices
in the subnet should be automatically assigned with a specific group type and group.
To accomplish device assignment by subnet, you must create group types and groups
prior to assigning the subnet (see Creating Device Views, in the Rapport Help File).
• Manual assignment
After you have created a Device View and assigned devices to the groups, you can
drag-and-drop a device from one custom group within the View to another custom
group. For example, if a Device View groups devices by department within buildings,
you can easily drag-and-drop a device from the Engineering department in building
Exodus I to the Marketing department in the same building or in another building (see
Moving Devices Across User-Defined Groups, in the Rapport Help File).
 15

Views
Views are built on Group Types arranged in a user-assigned hierarchy. You can build
views based on the six built-in group types (OS, Platform, Image number, Subnet,
Location, and Contact), on user-created Custom Group Types, or on any combination of
built-in and user-created Groups.

Default Device Configuration (Enterprise-Only Feature)

Default Device Configuration (DDC) is a default image and set of Rapport software
packages that you can assign to a device or group of devices in your network. A DDC
ensures that a device has a defined image and set of software packages applied to it. If a
device assigned to a DDC is found to be missing the correct image or software
package(s), the missing elements are automatically applied.

Adding Rapport Users

Administrators can add Rapport users by completing the following procedures:
1. Expand the Configuration Manager in the Rapport MMC Snap-in Tree panel, right-click
User Permissions, and select New => User.
The Pick a User dialog box is displayed as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 3 New Rapport user

Note
A new Rapport user has no permissions. To assign permissions to a user,
refer to Editing User Permissions in the Rapport Help File.

About the Sale Key (License)

Rapport software requires a Sale Key (license) to operate. The Rapport installation
includes a default Workgroup Sale Key. Sale Keys allow 30 days of use before they must
be activated. Evaluation Keys allow 30 days of use before they expire (Evaluation Keys
cannot be activated).
