This article outlines how to install the Arellia Management Server when your target machine is not connected to the Internet.
The steps below require the use of PowerShell scripts which by default are disabled in Windows Operating Systems. To enable their use open an elevated PowerShell window and issue the command: Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass
For more information on the Set-ExecutionPolicy cmdlet you can refer to the Technet KB article Using the Set-ExecutionPolicy Cmdlet
On an Internet connected machine:
- Download the attached Create-AMSOfflinePackage.ps1 PowerShell script (still a work in progress, download from https://www.dropbox.com/s/o7tbrq1qtgcuxwz/Create-AMSOfflinePackage.ps1)
Run the script by using the right click context menu or using a PowerShell command window. You can optionally specify where the files will be downloaded with the -Path argument, by default C:\OfflinePackage will be used
.\Create-AMSOfflinePackage.ps1 -Path C:\OfflinePackage
On your Arellia Management Server:
- Copy the Offline Package folder from your Internet connected machine using a USB drive or some other method
- Run the Install-AMSOfflinePackage.ps1 script located in the bin directory of the Offline Package
Note that during the installation you may be prompted to reboot several times to install the required components - this is normal and the installation automatically resume when you next log in - Once the machine has finished rebooting open up a browser to http://localhost/Ams/Setup to continue the installation
