I could sure use some advice on this everyone. Very frustrating trying to just install the IaaS component.
I am setting up a distributed installation going through a Citrix Netscaler VPX Load balancer.
I of course have 2 vcac appliance with it's virtual VIP: vcloud.pslab.internal
next is the IaaS server with a vip of: vcacweb.pslab.internal
Successfully configured the appliance but I am having very difficult time trying to install IaaS
Here is the list of preliminary steps prior to installing Website and Model Manager.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 installed
- IIS Server Role installed
Currently only Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.5 is supported. IIS Server role must be installed with the following Role Services using Server Manager (More information on installing IIS can be found here):- Static Content
- Default Document
- HTTP Redirection (required for vCAC Self-Service Portal)
- ASP.NET
- ISAPI Extensions
- ISAPI Filter
- Windows Authentication
- IIS Authentication configuration
After installing IIS, you’ll need to do some configuration within IIS:- Open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager
- In the tree pane, expand the <machine name>, Sites, to reach the Default Web Site
- In the results pane, double click on Authentication
- Disable Anonymous Authentication
- Enable Windows Authentication
- Highlight Windows Authentication and click on Providers under Actions on the right hand side
i. Remove Negotiate from the Enabled Providers list
ii. Add Negotiate back into the list, making sure it is the first provider in the list. (This is necessary due to a bug in IIS)
iii. Both Negotiate and NTLM providers should be enabled
- Open Advanced Settings (above Providers)
- i. In the drop down box for Extended Protection change it to Accept and then change it back to Off again
- ii. Kernel-Mode Authentication should be enabled
- iii. Click OK. (This is necessary due to a bug in IIS)
- Windows Process Activation Service installedthe following procedure to add the Windows Process Activation Service feature:
- Open Server Manager
- Expand the Windows Process Activation Service feature
i. Select Process Model, .Net Environment, Configuration APIs
- Expand the .Net Framework 3.5.1 Features
- i. Select both .Net Framework 3.5.1 and WCF Activatio
- ii. Make sure that both HTTP Activation and Non-HTTP Activation is selected
- Complete the installation of the Windows Features
Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator Service (MS DTC) enabled
Log on as a batch job right
Log on as a service right
Added DisableLoobBackChecking to the registry
added Disablestrictnamechecking to the registry
My domain account is in the Administrator group
Follower Kendricks blog and ran the pre auto script
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I incuded screenshots of the installation process.
After all the steps required, I can install IaaS. Very frustating guys, I tell ya. The installation fails at this point
every time
