Installation & Other Software
Due to the observed unpredictable behavior of antivirus software, it is recommended to disable such software during the installation of the Altium Infrastructure Server.
If the computer is also running Microsoft Exchange Server, you might receive an HTTP Error 503 error when you first attempt to log in. The installation of the Exchange Server can change the Internet Information Services (IIS) configuration in a way that conflicts with the Infrastructure Server. To resolve this, the following changes must be made to the applicationHost.config
file:
<handlers accessPolicy="Read, Script">
...
<add name="kerbauth" image="C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\Bin\kerbauth.dll" preCondition="bitness64" />
<add name="WSMan" image="C:\Windows\system32\wsmsvc.dll" preCondition="bitness64" />
