Automated Server Configuration

When the Platform Installer is run during an install or upgrade, it automatically configures your server to ensure correct operation of ENPS. This reduces the amount of manual preparation required.

For reference, this page lists those automated configurations.

Anti-Virus

IE Enhanced Security Configuration (all Users and Admins)

Server Manger > Local Server > Properties pane > IE Enhanced Security Configuration is set to Off for Administrators and Users.

This is applied after the first restart after running the Platform Installer.
