VMware DEM – Management Console Install

Release date: January 7th 2019

Welcome to my VMware Dynamic Environment Manager series. In this session I will describe how I did the install-phase.

Prior to installing the VMware DEM Server, we need to review the prerequisites laid out by VMware here: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-User-Environment-Manager/9.5/com.vmware.user.environment.manager-install-config/GUID-DBBC82E4-483F-4B28-9D49-4D28E08715BC.html

In my preparation I downloaded the necessary files from VMware, as my server is MS Windows 2016 server, I will go with VMware User Environment Manager 9.5 x64

I choose “Custom” Setup type

I deselect all components except VMware DEM Management Console

Now that VMware DEM Management Console in installed, I can proceed with configuring the DEM Management Console, read about that here: VMware DEM Management Console Configuration
