Issue
Is it possible to install TAC Vista Webstation on a PC that does not have Vista installed?
Product Line
TAC Vista
Environment
Vista Webstation 5.x.x
Cause
For security reasons some customers need to have TAC Vista Webstation installed on a PC located in the DMZ.
The purpose of a DMZ is to add an additional layer of security to an organization's local area network (LAN); an external attacker only has access to equipment in the DMZ, rather than any other part of the network.
Resolution
TAC Vista Webstation must be installed on a PC where TAC Vista server is already installed. To resolve this you can install an empty Vista server on the PC and connect it to the Vista network together with the Vista servers already installed. After that you can install Webstation on the PC with the empty Vista server.
