If not already configured to be a web server, you’ll need to add this role to the server using the Server Manager console.

1. In the Server Manager, expand the Roles node. If there is an entry for Web Server (IIS) then the server already has the required role.
2. If it is not present, click the Add Roles link.

In the Add Roles Wizard, enter the information as shown in the following steps.

In the roles list, check the check box next to Web Server (IIS).
Click Next.
After reading the overview screen, click Next.

Under the Web Server (IIS) option, click Role Services.
Check the check boxes next to all of the services for IIS 6 Management Compatibility.
Click Next.
Review the confirmation screen and click Install.

The Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo assembly must be in the /Windows/Assembly directory on the server. If you receive an error regarding the version of the Sql Server Management Objects, make sure that file is at least version 9.2. If it is, just continue with the process. On SQL Server 2008 R2, they are all 10.0.0.0.

Run iPrelogWebUIInstaller.exe and step through the installation wizard using the default values as shown.

On the Database Connectivity tab, enter the following details:
1.    Database Server to be used by iPreLog.
2.    Database name and logon information.
3.    DSN Name.
4.    If this is a new installation, check the Create Initial Database check box. Note that you will overwrite an existing iPreLog database if you have this check box checked while completing a re installation.
5.    Location for the backup file.
6.    Location of the data and log file.

Click Next.

On the Email Connectivity tab, enter the following:
1.    Name of your mail server
2.    Account to be used for iPreLog submissions.
3.    Password for email account.
4.    Directory on the server where the import file will be stored prior to being imported.

If you want your submitters to physically bring in the import file with their evidence, check the No email account check box.

If you configure the email account, iPreLog will send an email to the account you designate that has the submitters iPreLog information attached to an email.

Click Next.

On the Lab Options tab, enter the following:
1.    Contact information for the lab to which they will be submitting evidence.
2.    A welcome message can be entered in the Lab Title Text field. It supports basic HTML formatting.
3.    Enter the ORI for your lab as entered in the LIMS-plus database. YOU MUST ENTER THIS AT THIS POINT! The value is located within your LIMS-plus database in the LAB.agc_ori value for the lab you are currently configuring. If an ORI does not exist for the lab, enter a value now. This value must match what is entered on the iPreLog Lab Options tab.

If you forget to enter the ORI, you will receive an error at the end of the installation process.

Click Next.
The Summary Tab shows the information you entered.
Click Apply to complete the configuration process.

The SQL Server must be able to use both Windows and SQL Authentication.

There is an issue with the JTVBEncrypt dll. It is registered from the syswow64 folder using this run command: C:\WINDOWS\syswow64\regsvr32.exe C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\iPrelog\JTVBEncr.dll

Change the App pool so that Enable 32-Bit Applications to true. (By default, Windows 2008 R2 is set to False.)

If you configured the email connectivity above, you will need to install the mailreader utility so the iPreLog import files can be processed.

Run the iPrelogMailReaderInstaller.exe installer file and accept the default installation values.

On the database connectivity tab, enter the information about your LIMS-plus database and the account you created on the database to give access to the reader.

On the email connectivity tab, you have two options as to how the reader can work.

With the No email account (poll folder only) option checked, the mail reader will monitor the directory you define in the File Path field. The directory will be polled at the frequency set in the Poll Mail interval field. Any new iPreLog files found will be processed and will become available for import into LIMS-plus. You would use this option if the individuals using iPreLog have been instructed to save their files to this directory.

Note that the File Path field defined for the Mail Reader must be the same as the one defined on the Email Connectivity tab when you completed the iPreLog configuration.

If the iPreLog users are submitting their information by email attachments, you must uncheck the No email account check box and complete the rest of the email connectivity tab.

Click Next then Apply.
