1E.Client-x64.msi | Installer for computers that have a 64-bit platform architecture, including Distribution Points. |
From version 7.0 the Nomad client is a client module in the 1E Client, which also includes Tachyon and client modules for Shopping/WSA and WakeUp. Please refer to 1E Client 5.1 for installation and configuration details. Please refer to 1E Client Deployment Assistant 1.5 for information about a wizard that assists Configuration Manager with deployment of 1E Client and PXE Everywhere, guiding you through common settings for clients and deployments. |
Installation Order
We recommend you install Nomad in the following order:
| 1 | Tachyon Server | You have a free Tachyon license and can install Tachyon Server provided you only use Tachyon to support the following Nomad features:
If you have purchased a Tachyon license then you can install and use Tachyon for additional features. To prepare for and install Tachyon, please refer to Tachyon 5.1 - Implementing Tachyon. | |
| 2 | ActiveEfficiency Server | Install an ActiveEfficiency Server if you require any of the features listed under the heading ActiveEfficiency Server. When installing ActiveEfficiency Server you must enable Nomad Sync to support Nomad Pre-caching or Nomad Dashboard features. If you are also using Tachyon then you can install ActiveEfficiency 1.10 using Tachyon 5.1 - Tachyon Setup. If you are not using Tachyon then please refer to ActiveEfficiency Server 1.10 - Implementation. | |
| 3 | NightWatchman Management Center and WakeUp Servers | Install NightWatchman Management Center and WakeUp Servers if you require Nomad integrating with WakeUp. To prepare for and install NightWatchman Enterprise components please refer to NightWatchman Enterprise 7.3 - Implementation. | |
| 4 | Configuration Manager Console extensions | Install Nomad Configuration Manager Console extensions on any computers that have Configuration Management Console installed.
| |
| 5 | Deploy 1E Client on all Configuration Manager Distribution Points |
By default, IIS is configured to prevent certain file types from being downloaded. You will need to allow Nomad to download all content as it does not use the Configuration Manager workaround to bypass this Microsoft security feature. We recommend you read IIS request filtering which describes how to update the filtering on all distribution points to enable Nomad to function as expected. You might also want to configure any virus checkers running on your network to make exceptions for the Nomad executables and support files. | |
| 6 | Deploy 1E Client on all Configuration Manager clients | Install 1E Client (with Nomad client module enabled) on Configuration Manager Distribution Points. Enable Tachyon features and other client modules if required. | |
| 7 | Nomad Tools for OSD | Install Nomad Tools for OSD on the Configuration Manager primary sites (and extra SMS Providers, if they exist) if Nomad's OSD features are required.
|
Licensing Nomad in 1E Client
The Nomad client module in 1E Client 4.1 and later does not require a license key. Nomad 7.0 does not require input of a license key, or relicencing when upgrading or updating. Customers are legally bound to use the software within the terms of the 1E software license agreement. |
Uninstalling Nomad
If you are uninstalling Nomad, we recommend you do it in the following order:
Configuration Manager Consoles
- Close the Configuration Manager Admin Console before you uninstall the Configuration Manager Console extensions and Nomad Tools for OSD.
Nomad clients
- If you have installed the Nomad download monitor, uninstall this before Nomad.
- Ensure there are no running jobs before you uninstall 1E Cient or permanently disable the Nomad client module.
- Content in the cache may not be automatically deleted when you uninstall Nomad (and some MSI-based installations and files may be required for future application repairs etc). You can delete these files/folders manually or run CacheCleaner.exe -deleteall before you uninstall Nomad.
