Install Server Service

If you already use the Email Connector or Alerts Server or Report Scheduler then you can skip this section as the 'CRM Server' service is already installed and there is nothing more you need to do.

Install Service

This part of the installation should be performed on the server itself.

Automatic installation       (requires RangerMSP 14 and up)

Log in to to your Server with a Window's Administrator account and run the installer from:

<Installation_DIR>\RangerMSP\Utils\Install\InstallServerSideWindowsServices.exe

OR   -

2. Type the following command:
   

   <Installation_DIR>\RangerMSP\Server\CRMServer.exe -install

   Note: The <Installation_Dir> must refer to a LOCAL server path (e.g. c:\ or D:\Software, etc.) and NOT to a shared network name/path.
3. Wait for a success message to appear, indicating the service was installed successfully.
4. Open the Windows Services Management windows from Control Panel > Administration Tools > Services.
