Windows
Installer

4.5

If not present on the system, the Cisco TMS installer will inform you
that the installation is needed before continuing, and the
installation package is provided for you.

Windows Updates

Enable and apply Windows Updates according to the network policy of your organization.

Access Requirements During Installation

The administrator performing the installation must have administrator access to the Windows server.

Date and Time Configuration

NTP Server Recommended

The time setting on the Windows server must be correct for Cisco TMS to function correctly, and the date and time on the
Cisco TMS and SQL Server must be identical, if the servers are separate.

We therefore strongly recommend keeping both servers in the same Active Directory domain and setting them up to use
the same NTP (Network Time Protocol) server. For instructions, see the Microsoft support article

How to configure an

authoritative time server in Windows Server

Time Zone

Do not change the time zone of the Windows server running Cisco TMS after installing the application. If the server time
zone is changed at a later date, all dates and times not related to scheduling will remain in the old time zone.

SQL Server Software and Permission Requirements

Cisco TMS stores all its customer data in its SQL database named tmsng. This self-contained storage allows for
convenient backup and recovery of customer information.

For new installations, the installer creates tmsng using the SQL server defaults. Upgrades will reuse an existing Cisco
TMS database.
