Installing and Uninstalling Server Monitor
This topic describes how you can install and uninstall Server Monitor on Windows.
Server Monitor is an application for the administrator which does not need to go on the same Server as the report system. So, you should install Server Monitor on a separate system or on systems for system administrators.
