General Information | Prerequisites | Pre-installation Tasks | Post Installation Tasks | ITS Installation Tasks

The following criteria are required prerequisites that must apply if an Express Install is to be scheduled. If any one of these does not apply, a normal install will be scheduled.

• A network connection must already be available and easily accessible at the installation location. The new computer will most likely make use of the old computer’s LAN connection.
• Only basic access to EIU’s mainframe will be possible with an Express Install. If any of the following is true, an Express Install will not be possible:
  • If you perform a host file transfer. That is, if you transfer files between EIU’s mainframe and your desktop computer.
  • If you have the mainframe send data to a printer attached to your computer or server. This does not include simple screen image prints.
• On Intel machines, Express Installation will load the version of Norton AntiVirus (NAV) that will periodically and automatically receive updates from an on-campus NAV server. On Apple machines the NAV version will require the user to initiate the database update process. The NAV application will protect your computer from viruses. If this installation is not acceptable, you will need to communicate this via the e-mail form that will be sent to you prior to your installation. If you do not wish to have NAV loaded, an Express Installation cannot be initiated.
• A good-faith effort will be made to install a locally attached or network printer. The user is responsible for having the appropriate documentation and CDs that came with the printer for use by the ITS technician. Scanners, PDAs or other peripheral installations will not be done and will be the responsibility of the user, ISS or local user coordinator.
• Note that network drives and network printers will not be mapped during Express Installation. Recording of network resources prior to installation is necessary. The user, ISS or local user coordinator will need this information for reassigning of network drives after the Express Installation is complete.
• Note that authentication and enabling of Microsoft Office products that are preloaded on the system will be the responsibility of the user, ISS or local user coordinator.

If any of these prerequisites are unacceptable, Express Installation will not be possible. You will need to communicate this via the e-mail form that will be sent to you prior to any installation.
