Installation for workgroups

If you do not use a domain setup with an Active Directory server, but a workgroup setup, do the following when you install:

Log in to Windows using a common administrator account.
Make sure to use the same account on all computers in the system.
Depending on your needs, start the management or recording server installation and click Custom.
Depending on what you selected in step 2, select to install the Management or Recording Server service using a common administrator account.
Finish the installation.
Repeat steps 1-4 to install any other systems you want to connect. They must all be installed using a common administrator account.

You cannot use this approach when you upgrade workgroup installations. See instead Alternative upgrade for workgroup.
