If I remember right, there was another versio of the comparison last Autumn. You already refered to the comparison further down your post. I haven't installed it yet, but does this mean it has the same, limited functionality? or is it the full-featured version? or do i have to install this inventory installer for the full-featured version of helpdesk? You say the OVA is based on the cloud version. Mvanes wrote:First of maybe a stupid question again.

Why not start with this guide instead that you find on its download page? Mvanes wrote:Why isn't there a installation guide somewhere?īecause installation isn't possible. Where did you find this listed in the system requirements on the download page?
#HOW TO INSTALL SPICEWORKS HELP DESK WINDOWS#
I couldn't read a windows machine in the system requirements. Spiceworks help desk server is no exception.ĭoes this mean this OVA can only be installed on a windows machine running virtualbox? Usually, applications run much better when complying with the documented system requirements. So why not respect the system requirements mentioned on the download page? Mvanes wrote:We are running vmware, but i can't install the OVA thru vSphere. I find 5 docu links in that section, excluding the link for the download itself. So how about starting to read the docu you'll find in the section on this download page.

There is more docu on the new Spiceworks help desk server collected together on and around its download page then I was used on the installable edition where it is more spread. Or where you looking for the installable edition instead of the virtual machine edition and wanted to ask where to find it as you only found the one for virtual machine? In my experience, virtual machines can be created, destroyed, activated, paused, stopped, deactivated, but never heard of installed. Spiceworks help desk server is no exception. I never heard of any such documentation for any appliance.
#HOW TO INSTALL SPICEWORKS HELP DESK HOW TO#
Why are you looking for a documentation on how to install a virtual machine? But i just can't find any documentation on how to install it. Too bad they were acquired by Microsoft in 2006.I want to install the "Self-Hosted" version of the Spiceworks helpdesk. If you aren’t familiar with the PStools suite of utilities, and you like administration from the command line, you need to check out the Sysinternals web site. Psexec \\remotecomputername netsh firewall set service remotedesktop enable Psexec \\remotecomputername netsh firewall set service remoteadmin enable To enable remote access to a machine via the command line, type:

The users never even knew I was working on their computer, which is fine by me. So I fired up the command line on my local machine, and used psexec to configure the firewall service on the remote machine via netsh. This worked okay, but I like to implement the most elegant solution possible. Goto hklm\system\currentcontrolset\control\terminal server\FdenyTSConnections=1.Hkey_Users (under the remote computer’s name) At the bottom of the registry tree you will see 2 Hives appear Hkey_Local_Machine and.Enter the name of the remote computer and select Check Name.Select File –> Connect Network registry.You can also enable remote desktop over the network via regedit if you have administrator rights to the remote machine: Netsh firewall set service remotedesktop enable Netsh firewall set service remoteadmin enable If your remote user has administrator access to their machine, have them click on Start – Run and type: I needed a solution for users with remote desktop disabled. That worked fine, since I have local administrator access on each machine… but I’d have to interrupt each user’s work, log them off, make my firewall adjustments, then tell them it’s okay to log on now… assuming that I could even get into their machines remotely. My first idea was to use remote desktop to access the computers from my machine. I’m also not big into group policy here at the office (what the saying about the cobbler’s son’s shoes?) so I didn’t want to make the setting change that way. The Windows XP firewall is enabled on most of our PCs, and I didn’t want to visit each station to configure it to allow spiceworks to inventory the machine. I’ve been configuring my LAN for spiceworks this afternoon.
