Installing a PEC

Before installing a PEC:

• Determine the enterprise name
• Determine the site name
• Determine all CN names
• Determine the size and location of the MQIS database

For suggestions on naming conventions, see "Naming Conventions" in Chapter 6, "Deploying MSMQ."

For information on creating CNs and site links, see "Basic MSMQ Concepts" in Chapter 1, "Understanding MSMQ."

For information on determining the size of the MQIS database, see "Determining the Size of the Information Store" in Chapter 6, "Deploying MSMQ."

1. Run Setup from the MSMQ\Server folder on the Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition 4.0 Components CD.
2. Click Continue.
3. Confirm the default installation folder, Or click Change Folder to select a new one.
3. Click Server, Installation Server, or Custom.
• When you click Server, Setup installs the MSMQ server software and the MSMQ administration tools.
When you click Installation Server, Setup installs the MSMQ server software, the MSMQ administration tools, and an MSMQ installation share. The installation share contains installation files for computers running Windows 95 or Windows NT on Intel-compatible computers. When you click Custom, you select specific MSMQ components. You can specify alternate folders for the MSMQ SDK, administration tools, and installation share. You can also specify which platforms will be supported by selecting Installation Share and clicking Change Option. With Custom installation, support for computers running Windows 95 and Windows NT (x86 and Alpha platforms) is selected by default.
4. Click Primary Enterprise Controller and then click OK.
6. If either the MSDTC or the MSSQLServer service is running the Stop Running Services? dialog box appears. Click Yes to continue installing MSMQ. if it is unacceptable to stop these services, click No and install MSMQ later. Setup restarts these services after reinstalling MSMQ.
5. specify the Data Device and Log Device location and size.
You can change the size of data and log device at any time using SQL Server Enterprise Manager. However, after the MSMQ server is installed you cannot move the data or log devices. For information on calculating the appropriate data and log device size for your site, see "Determining the Size of the Information Store" in Chapter 6, "Deploying MSMQ." 8. specify the Enterprise name. The enterprise name can be 126 characters long, and can contain any characters.
6. In the Connected Networks dialog box, click Add.
7. specify the Connected Network Name and the Protocol you want to use for each CN needed for your enterprise. When you're done, click Continue.
11. specify the Site Name. The site name can be 31 characters long, and can contain any characters.
8. If necessary, pair your network adapter card addresses to the correct CNs. When you're done, click Continue.
Setup prompts you for this information only if:
• You have two network adapter cards on the same protocol (for example, you have two network adapter cards using IP) and at least one CN exists for that protocol.
• Two or more CNs match the protocol being used by at least one of your installed network adapter cards (for example, two IPX CNs exist and you have one network adapter card using IPX).
Note MSMQ servers that connect to other MSMQ servers through a RAS link should not support the NetBEUI protocol over RAS. RAS support for NetBEUI is disabled by default. To view your RAS protocol settings, run Control Panel, double-click Network, click the Services tab, click Remote Access Service, click Properties, click the appropriate modem, and then click Network.
