Different methods for installing a Symantec CCS Console on a remote server

Environment

CCS 12.6.x

Resolution

There are three methods to install a remote CCS Console:

Method A - Via the CCS Web Console

  1. Launch the CCS Web Console on the client machine via the following URL (make sure you use the MS Edge browser and not Chrome or Mozilla, etc, or the CCS console installation will fail)
    If SSL is not configured for Web Console in IIS 7.0 or IIS 7.5 use this link
    http://<IP Address or Name or FQDN Name of the Application Server>/CCS_Web
    If SSL is configured for Web Console in IIS 7.0 or IIS 7.5 then use this link
    https://<IP Address or Name or FQDN Name of the Application Server>/CCS_Web
  2. Once the Web Console is launched click on the "Downloads" tab in the Menu Bar and then click on the link "Install Symantec Control Compliance Suite Console" and follow the instructions.

Method B - By copying the Console Setup to the client machine from the Application Server

  1. On the Application Server go to the following location
    <CCS Install Drive>:\Program Files (x86)\Symantec\CCS\Reporting and Analytics\WebPortal\
  2. From the above location inside the "WebPortal" folder look for a folder named "Console".
    Copy the entire "Console" folder to the remote client machine.
  3. On the client machine, now open the "Console" folder and execute the ClickOnce Application Deployment Manifest "SymConsole.application" to install the Control Compliance Suite Console.

Method C - By connecting a UNC path from the remote server to the Application Server

  1. On the remote server open a UNC path to the Application Server and navigate to the following location.
    <CCS Install Drive>:\Program Files (x86)\Symantec\CCS\Reporting and Analytics\WebPortal\Console\.
  2. Now simply execute the ClickOnce Application Deployment Manifest "SymConsole.application" to install the Control Compliance Suite Console.
