→Installing the VMM Self-Service Portal
* '''Host header required for portal access''' - Host headers allow more than one web site to share a single IP address and web server. If the VMM Self-Service Portal is sharing the web server with other web sites, the host header which distinguishes traffic for the portal from traffic for the other web sites must be specified here.
== Installing the VMM Agent ==
Any Hyper-V or Virtual Server based hosts which are to be managed by VMM 2008 must have the VMM Agent installed and running. If VMM Server is installed on any of these hosts, the VMM Agent will already be installed. For any other hosts, VMM Agent will need to be installed before adding the hosts to VMM 2008.
The VMM Agent is installed using the VMM 2008 Setup wizard, launched either from the VMM 2008 media or the trial download. To initiate the installation, launch setup and select the ''Local Agent'' option. Read and accept the license terms, configure the installation folder and proceed to the Configuration Settings screen where the ports for communicating with the VMM Server components may be specified. Accept the default values unless VMM Server has been configured to use different ports. On the Security Folder screen, specifies the settings for the storage of security files. These files are used by VMM 2008 to manage hosts which are not part of an Active Directory domain. If the host on which the agent is being installed is not part of a domain, set the ''This Host is in a Perimeter Network'' option and enter an encryption key. Click ''Next'' to proceed to the ''Host Network Name'' screen where information about how VMM Server will communicate with the agent are defined. Enter the required information and proceed to the final screen. Clicking the ''Install'' button will install the VMM Agent on the local system such that it can be managed by VMM 2008.
