Installing ProfileUnity

ProfileUnity is available only as a standalone product. The ProfileUnity standalone installer installs the ProfileUnity Management Console and also includes the FlexApp Packaging Console and the ProfileUnity Client Tools software. There is one installer, ProfileUnity-Net_vX.X.X.exe, which contains the Microsoft .NET Framework and other prerequisite software that you need. Installation is straightforward and merely requires an administrator to answer a few simple prompts.

Important: The ProfileUnity Management Console requires your user account to have administrative privileges on the local machine for installation. Additionally, write permission to the NETLOGON share on your domain controller or cloud storage path is required to install the ProfileUnity Client. Ensure your user account has the necessary privileges prior to continuing.

  1. Browse to ProfileUnity-Net_X.X.X.exe, where X.X.X stands for the version number of the software, and execute the ProfileUnity standalone installer to begin the installation.
  2. Select your language and click OK to continue.
  3. The installer checks to see if any prerequisites need to be installed. If so, the Prerequisite Wizard welcome screen dialog displays. Click Next.
  4. The installer then checks for any prerequisite software your device needs. Click Next to install the prerequisite software.
  5. After the prerequisite software is installed, the ProfileUnity setup wizard opens. Click Next.
  6. Enter the folder on your local machine where you would like the Management Console installed, then click Next.
  7. Enter a password to be used to connect the database and fabric services. Your password must be at least 8 characters long and must contain 3 of the following characters:
    • Lowercase letters
    • Uppercase letters
    • Numbers
    • Non-alphanumeric characters
  8. Specify the broker mode for use with the optional FlexDisk VMDK delivery system. If you plan to use VHDs rather than VMDKs with ProfileDisk or FlexApp or do not plan to use either ProfileUnity feature, select Other from the list. Click Next.
  9. The License Agreement displays. Read the agreement and select the “I accept…" option. Click Next.
  10. Click the Install button.
