Prerequisites for Right Click Tools, Endp

If you intend to install and configure all your Recast products and components in one continuous workflow, you should ensure that all the necessary prerequisites for Recast Management Server, Recast Proxy, Right Click Tools, Application Manager, and Endpoint Insights are in place before you begin installing and configuring Recast products and components.

TIP: You can alternatively choose to initially meet just the requirements for the Right Click Tools Console Extension. This approach lets you get a jumpstart on using the tools while the prerequisites for the other Recast products and components are being put in place. You'll be able to complete Tasks 1 & 2—installing and configuring the console extension—before the requirements for Recast Management Server and other Recast products must be fulfilled.
