Installing COPS LPM

Common Open Policy Service Local Policy Module requires an additional installation procedure beyond that of the Resource Kit.

1. Log in as an Administrator.
2. Make sure that the QoS Admission Control RSVP service is installed and can be started and stopped successfully from the Component Services snap-in.
   To open it:
   
   • Click the Start button, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, then click Component Services.
   • In the console root, click Services (Local) and scroll down in the right pane to find the QoS RSVP service.
3. Run the self-extracting executable, Copslpm.exe, found in the <Windows 2000 Resource Kit Cdroot>:\Apps\Copslpm directory.
4. Verify that iCOPSLPM has initialized properly as described in the Event Logging section of the main topic.

The installation program, Copslpm.exe, installs and configures COPS LPM as follows:

Components

Copslpm.exe copies the following DLLs to the \System32 directory:

• Icopslpm.dll
• Icopsmsg.dll

Registry Settings

Copslpm.exe configures the following registry settings during installation:
