Before installing the consoles, review the following considerations:
Running more than 10 active consoles concurrently can reduce product performance.
The size of your Secure Configuration Manager database and the number of concurrent connections can affect console performance. You can adjust the refresh period to improve performance. For more information, see the User's Guide for Secure Configuration Manager.
When you install Core Services, the installation process includes the infrastructure for the Web console. You do not need to perform a separate installation.
The installation program checks whether .NET Framework 4.7.1 exists on the computer. If it does not exist, the installation program installs .NET then reboots the computer. You can continue the installation after the reboot.
Secure Configuration Manager supports IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, but uses IPv4 addresses for communication among the consoles, Core Services, and the Secure Configuration Manager database. The Windows console computer must be configured for IPv4 addresses at a minimum. Alternatively, you can set up the Windows console computer as a dual-stack host to support both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
You can allow Web console users to launch the Dashboard without re-entering their credentials. For more information, see Enabling the Web Console to Launch the Dashboard.
