Preparing the EDS Server

Before installing the EDS service, prepare the server:

1. Log in to the server as Administrator, open Server Manager, and install the following software components and their dependent components:

   • the Web Server (IIS) role
   • the .NET Framework 3.0 (or later) feature
   • the ASP.NET role service

2. After you install these software components, check the permissions of the NETWORK SERVICE built-in account:

   • The account must have read access to the C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files folder.
   • The account must have read/write access to the C:\WINDOWS\Temp folder.

Note: After you install the EDS service, the NETWORK SERVICE built-in account will be used for the application pool of the EDS service web site. If you need to use a custom account for the application pool, you must grant the appropriate permissions to this custom account.
