Installation and Uninstallation

We recommend that installation of the GPCR Server Edition be on a server (Server 2008 R2 or higher). However, PolicyPak GPCR in push mode doesn't need to be installed on a server at all, and could be installed on any machine (Windows 7 or higher). To start the installation, find the PolicyPak GP Compliance Reporter (Server).msi file, as shown in Figure 36.

Step 1 – To install PolicyPak GP Compliance Reporter, click on the MSI file and start the wizard (Figure 37).

Step 3 – Then select which type of database you want to use (see Figure 39). You can choose Microsoft SQL Server Compact if you only expect a small amount of data for processing and testing. However, in most cases, Microsoft SQL Server is recommended.

note

If you need to uninstall PolicyPak GPCR Server, use Add/Remove Programs and uninstall PolicyPak. Then, remove

C:\ProgramData\PolicyPak\PolicyPak Group Policy Compliance Reporter Server and all subfolders. Additionally, remove the PolicyPak Group Policy Compliance Reporter (endpoint) license from the Group Policy Object (GPO).
