Installing PXE Everywhere Central

The PXE Everywhere Central installer

The latest release of the 1E Platform does not require all downloadable components to be updated. Refer to the Release notes for what is new, and what is compatible. You can download tools for the 1E Platform and the 1E Client from the 1E Support Portal.

  • Use the PXE Everywhere Central installation wizard to check prerequisites, configure and install PXE Everywhere Central and/or PXE Everywhere Admin Tools.

  • Before you begin installation, please ensure you have reviewed Design considerations and Requirements pages, and the installation steps below.

Using the installer, you can do the following:

  • Install PXE Everywhere Central on any server that has IIS and other prerequisites installed.

  • Install PXE Everywhere Admin Tools on any computer that has Configuration Manager Admin Console installed.

Both can be installed on a typical Configuration Manager site server.

A single instance of PXE Everywhere Central is required in any given environment. It can be installed on any server but must have good connectivity to the Configuration Manager database, preferably on the same subnet. The installer adds some stored procedures to the Configuration Manager database, which are used by the PXE Everywhere Central Web service whenever queried by PXE Everywhere Agents.

PXE Everywhere Admin Tools are required for preparing the Windows PE boot images for use by PXE Everywhere Agents, as described in Preparing and deploying 1E PXE Everywhere boot images. If you are only here to install the Admin Tools then you can skip to the PXE Everywhere Admin Tools installation steps steps.

Log on to the server using the PXE Everywhere Central installation account, and then use the following instructions.
