Faronics Insight User Guide

Installing Faronics Insight on Windows MultiPoint Server

Installation

1. For Windows Multipoint Server 2010, boot the server into Maintenance Mode. This step is not

necessary with the 2011 or 2012 versions as it will automatically switch to that mode.

2. Login as Administrator.

3. Go to the Faronics product download location and double-click either the

MutipointSever2010.msi, MultipointServer2011.msi or MultipointServer2012.msi from the
Multipoint Server folder.

4. This will copy all needed files to the server and set all necessary registry values. The possible

installation options as detailed in the “Scripting or Mass Deploying Faronics Insight via MSI”
section of the Install Guide also apply to the MultiPoint.msi package.

Configuration

By default, Faronics Insight assumes that any user who is a member of the Administrators group
will run the Faronics Teacher console at login. All users not members of the Administrators group
will run the Faronics Student software at login.

It is possible to alter the default actions by creating and populating three optional local User
Groups.

Local User Groups

• Faronics Students

• Faronics Teachers

• NotTeacherOrStudent

Exceptions can be made with the three optional local User Groups mentioned above.

If a user is not supposed to run either Teacher or Student software, add that user as a member of
the local User Group “NotTeacherOrStudent”.

If the user is supposed to run the Teacher software, but is not a member of the Administrators
group, add that user to the local User Group “Faronics Teachers”.

Likewise, if a user is a member of the Administrators group, but should run the Student software,
add that user to the local User Group “Faronics Students”.

Domain User Groups

If the user has logged into a domain (this is only supported on the Volume Licensing build of
MultiPoint Server 2010, 2011, or 2012) then group membership in Domain User Groups will be
checked first before looking at the local User Groups. The Domain User Groups which will be
checked are:

• Domain Admins

• Faronics Teachers
