Installation of Ranger Account Manager is performed in two phases.

The first phase installs and configures the server component on one of the Domain Controllers on your local network. Typically, this is the same server that Ranger for Networks is installed on, but it does not need to be.

The second phase involves installing the Ranger Account Manager Client application on any machines that you wish to manage user accounts from. This is not required as you are able to perform all functions and tasks from the server installation, however it is recommended that you install the Ranger Account Manager Client application on a machine other than the server so as to limit server console access.

During the install process, you are required to activate Ranger Account Manager either over the internet or by contacting us. Should you wish to activate via the internet, please ensure that the server you install Ranger Account Manager to is connected to the internet before proceeding. You will also require your activation key which should have been sent to you.
