note

These steps assume you have launched the installer through the Netwrix Setup Launcher (Netwrix_Setup.exe). If you aren't using it, right-click NetwrixThreatManager.exe and select Run as administrator. Then skip to Step 2.

Step 1 – Click Netwrix Threat Manager Setup. The Netwrix Threat Manager Setup wizard opens.

Step 2 – Click Install.

Step 3 – Read the End User License Agreement and select the I accept the license agreement checkbox. Click Next.

Step 4 – By default, the installation directory is set to:

• Install Folder – C:\Program Files\STEALTHbits\StealthDEFEND

Optionally, enter a new path or use the Browse button to modify as desired. Click Next.

Step 5 – On the Database page, ensure the host and port are set correctly. If installing on the same server where the PostgreSQL database application was installed, this information is accurate by default. The default database name is stealthdefend; however, it can be modified as desired. Click Test to validate the connection information.

For example, if you change the default database name from stealthdefend to threatmanager and click Test.

Step 6 – If a successful connection is made, a message window displays confirming the database doesn't exist and you want to create it. Click OK and the window closes.

Step 7 – A "Ready for installation" message appears on the Database page of the wizard and the Next button is enabled. Click Next.

note

If PostgreSQL is installed on a different host, then the connection details should be updated accordingly.

Step 8 – By default, the Create Inbound Windows Firewall Rules checkbox is selected, indicating that the installer creates these. Deselect the checkbox if you don't want the installer to automatically create these rules because you have already created them. Click Next.

Step 9 – The installation process begins and the Setup wizard displays the progress. Click Exit when the installation completes successfully. The Netwrix Threat Manager Setup wizard closes.

Step 10 – Now that both components have been installed, close the Netwrix Setup Launcher.

The Threat Manager application is now installed and the database has been created. There are several post-installation tasks to complete, depending on your environment. See the following topics for additional information:

• Optionally Install the Action Service on Additional Servers
• Secure the Threat Manager Console
• During the first launch, set up the built-in Administrator account. See the First Launch topic for additional information.
