You can run the Network Directory server on the same computer as other FactoryTalk
View software components, or you can run it alone, on a dedicated computer.
After installing FactoryTalk View SE, and before you run FactoryTalk View Studio, the
FactoryTalk View SE Client, or the FactoryTalk View SE Administration Console, you
must use the FactoryTalk Directory Server Location Utility to specify:
 Localhost on the computer running the Network Directory server.
 The name of the computer running the Network Directory server, on every other
computer that is to participate in the application.
For information about deploying all the parts of a network distributed or network station
application, see the FactoryTalk View Site Edition Installation Guide.

1. On the computer hosting the Network Directory server, select Start > All Programs >
Rockwell Software > FactoryTalk Tools > Specify FactoryTalk Directory
