Installation overview

fDeploy installation typically consists of the following steps:

  1. Prepare a Windows server where fDeploy Server should be hosted

    1. Install .NET 10 runtimes as specified in installation prerequisites
    2. Configure namespace reservation (URL ACL) (optional)
    3. Configure firewall rule to allow incoming TCP traffic on port 80 (if using HTTP) and 443 (if using HTTPS)
    4. If using HTTPS, configure fDeploy Server certificate (optional)
      1. Typically, fDeploy Server is not exposed outside of your organization. As such, self-signed certificates are perfectly suited for this use-case.
      2. If the above scenario is not possible for your organization, you can order a standard SSL certificate from a CA of your choice.
    5. Bind fDeploy certificate (if using HTTPS)
    6. Add fDeploy Server to your existing intranet site group policy (optional)

  2. Prepare a SQL database where fDeploy Server will store majority of its data

    1. Create a SQL database
    2. Create a SQL server user with a strong password

  3. Prepare each deployment target machine

    1. Install .NET 10 runtimes as specified in installation prerequisites
    2. Install and configure fDeploy Agent
