Server readiness checklist for installation

Use the following checklist to prepare your server for installation:

Checklist

Readiness factor

Temporarily disable security applications. You must temporarily disable any antivirus (AV) software on the target server before you install FortiClient EMS. Installation may be slow or disrupted while these programs are active. A server may be vulnerable to attack when you uninstall or disable security applications.

Consider the date and time settings you apply to your server. If managing Chromebooks, syncing the time to the Google server time is recommended.

Confirm required services and ports are enabled and available for use by FortiClient EMS. Ensure that no conflicts exist with all ports that Required services and ports lists as incoming.
