6.4 Installing the Task Scheduler Service

This section describes the steps required to install the Task Scheduler service.

To install the service:

  1. Decide whether you want the service to use the local system account or a Windows user account and properly configure the account.

    For more information about the required accounts, see Reviewing Required Accounts and Permissions.

  2. Complete the steps in Understanding the AppManager Pre‑Installation Check.

    After you view the pre-installation check report, click Next to start the installation.

  3. When you reach the Destination Folder window, select the folder where you want to install the service and click Next.

  4. Select the type of account the service will use to connect to the repositories.

  5. (Conditional) If the service will use a Windows user account to connect to the repositories, provide the account credentials.

  6. Review the installation settings. When you are ready to install the service, click Install.

When the installation is complete, you can select to start the Task Scheduler Configuration Utility so that you can add repositories to the service. If you choose not to start the utility immediately after the installation completes, you must use the Start menu to start the utility. The repositories will not function correctly until you add them to the service. For information about adding repositories to the service, see Adding Repositories to the Task Scheduler Service.
