Installing ControlPoint Files
Performing a Pre-Installation Validation Check
After installing ControlPoint files, but before configuring ControlPoint for the first time, it is strongly recommended that you run the ControlPoint Install Check, which is located in the following folder: C:\Program Files\Metalogix\ControlPoint\Support\PreinstallValidation. When you run this utility (by double-clicking ControlPointInstallCheck.exe), you are prompted to enter the following information:
·ControlPoint Service Account name and password
·SharePoint Content Database Server name
·ControlPoint Service Database Server name.
NOTE: If UAC is enabled, it may be necessary to Run as Administrator.
When you click [Perform Install Validation], the utility verifies that key system requirements are met. At the conclusion of the verification check, a summary of results displays.
If any errors are reported in the Validation Summary, you can correct them before attempting to configure ControlPoint.

Configuring ControlPoint Services
Toward the end of ControlPoint configuration process you have the option to configure the following Windows service(s):
·The ControlPoint Discovery Service, which collects data and stores it in the ControlPoint Services (xcAdmin) database cache for use in ControlPoint data analysis and reporting.
AND/OR
·If Sensitive Content Manager is installed in your environment, ControlPoint Sensitive Content Manager (SCM) Services will allow you to use it within ControlPoint:
§as a means of checking for:
oContent Analysis (CA) jobs ready to be uploaded from ControlPoint to Sensitive Content Manager for scanning.
AND
oScan results ready to be downloaded from Sensitive Content Manager to ControlPoint for further action.
AND
§Because they support multi-threading, SCM Services are especially suited to very large content analysis jobs.
NOTE: If you want to configure services at a later time, you can do so by launching the Configuration Wizard from the server on which ControlPoint is installed (using the same login account used to install the ControlPoint application). After you have verified the Wizard has finished checking installed components, select Configure Services.
To configure ControlPoint Services:
1On the Configure Services dialog, select the service(s) you want to configure.
IMPORTANT:
§The Service Account must meet all of the requirements of the ControlPoint Service Account, as well as permission to Run as a Service.
§Keep in mind that the latest version of ControlPoint Sensitive Content Manager Service will only work with version 2.0 or later of Metalogix Sensitive Content Manager.
2Select the service(s) you want to configure.
3Click [Continue].
4Click [Start Deployment].
The installer deploys the selected Windows service(s).
5When the services have been successfully deployed, click [Finish].
Additional Setup Requirement for the ControlPoint Discovery Service
Before you can use the ControlPoint Discovery Service for the first time, you must also perform the following configuration tasks on the General tab of the Discovery Setup application (located, by default, in the folder C:\Program Files\Metalogix\ControlPoint\ControlPointFeatures\Services\Discovery):
·For Configure Discovery to run under, select SharePoint Local, and
·Add the SQL Server Connection String for xcAdmin Database.
NOTE: You can copy the Connection String from the file CPConfiguration.exe.config, located, by default, in the folder C:\Program Files\Metalogix\ControlPoint\ControlPointFeatures. Use the portion of the string that starts with the words Data Source and ends with Integrated Security = <value>.
You can also change a service's default settings from its Setup application. Refer to the ControlPoint Administration Guide for complete details.
