For details on prerequisites for installing ThinkManagement Console 9.0, go to the following Web site:
The preferred platform for ThinkManagement Console 9.0 is the Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit) operating
system. The following instructions describe how to configure the Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit) operating

3. Name the core server. It is important that the core server name is set correctly. After being installed, an
