- The Windows firewall must be set to allow exceptions.
- The Server Manager administrative tool on Windows 2008 or Windows 2008 R2 systems must be stopped.
- You must have installed at least PowerShell 1.0.
PowerShell 2.0 is recommended.
- Any service or process that is using the same Java Runtime Environment (JRE) that is installed with the Host Package must be stopped.
