Symantec Enterprise Security Manager lets you install the console on Windows computers that meet the system requirements. If you intend to install the Report Viewer tool, you should install the Symantec ESM utilities before you install the console.
You can install the ESM console by using the Suite Installer on Windows computers that meet the system requirements.
See“System requirements for Windows computers”on page 32.
Note:You must have the ESM 9.0 console installed on your computer to upgrade to ESM 9.0.1 console.
You must be a built-in administrator on the computer to install ESM console. Alternatively, you can use a role that is equivalent to an administrator. You also have to have write access on the esm.mdb file to launch the console. If you do not have write permissions on the esm.mdb file, then an administrator must grant you the write permissions.
