To complete this evaluation, you install Server Suite software on two physical or virtual computers:

  • Authentication & Privilege and Audit components on a Windows computer joined to an Active Directory domain.

  • Server Suite Agent for *NIX on a supported Linux-based or UNIX-based platform that you want to manage.

In most organizations, Server Suite software is not installed on the domain controller. However, you must be able to connect to a domain controller from the other two computers to complete the evaluation.
