Installation for workgroups

If you do not use a domain setup with an Active Directory server, but a workgroup setup, do the following when you install.

All computers in a distributed setup must either be on a domain or in a workgroup.

1. Log in to Windows. The user account you use here will be added to the XProtect administrator role during the installation.

   Make sure to use the same account on all computers in the system.

2. Depending on your needs, start the management or recording server installation and click Custom.
3. Depending on what you selected in step 2, select to install the Management Server or Recording Server service using a common administrator account.
4. Finish the installation.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 to install any other systems you want to connect. They must all be installed using the same system account.
