Prerequisites for a DB2 database
server installation (Windows)
Before you install your DB2® database
product, ensure that the prerequisites for each of the tasks are met
for installing on Windows operating
systems.
Additional installation considerations (Windows)
Before you install
a database product on Windows operating
systems, ensure that the system you choose meets the necessary operating
system, hardware, and software requirements.
Required user accounts for installation of DB2 server products (Windows)
Before you begin installation tasks you must
have an installation user account. During the installation, you can
also choose to create one or more setup user accounts, such as a DB2
Administration Server (DAS) user account or a DB2 instance user account.
DB2 services running on your system (Windows)
When you install a DB2 product, there are multiple services
included that can aid in the use and maintenance of your database,
such as statistic collection and license compliance monitors.
Setting up Windows elevated privileges before installing a DB2 product (Windows)
The usual method to install a DB2 database
product on Windows is to
use an Administrator user account. However, DB2 database products can be installed using
a non-administrator account. To do so, a Windows Administrator must configure the
elevated privileges feature in Windows.
Granting user rights (Windows)
This topic describes the steps required to grant user rights
on Windows operating systems.
Specific user rights are recommended for user accounts required to
install and set up DB2.
Extending the Active Directory Schema for LDAP directory services (Windows)
If you plan to use the Lightweight Directory
Access Protocol (LDAP) directory server feature with Windows Server 2003, you have to extend the
Active Directory schema to contain DB2 object
classes and attribute definitions using the db2schex command.
