Aloha 12.3 Fresh Windows Install

[MenulinkMan]

HD died on my lab fileserver, so i'm having to do a new Windows install. Does anyone have the install guide for changes that need to be made in Windows? It will be Windows 7 Pro and Aloha 12.3. All I know to do is create an AlohaSVR user, Terminal Users, Disable USB Select Suspend and Interactive Services Detection, and change the LANAConfig to 0 for the Aloha network.

Thanks!

Have you tried NCR's Image builder? I've used it quite a few times for setting up new servers and terminals.

Lucas what is this NCR Image builder you talk of can you share?

 

[MenulinkMan]

The image builder selects the appropriate versions of NCR's software that are compatible with one another, and install them for you. It is done via the radiantupdate website. However, when we were setting it up, we didn't have access to the builder. But, the builder will not make some of the required Windows settings changes that are needed, so there is still some elbow grease needed on fresh installs.

Are you talking about the Aloha suite installer or Image builder? When I attended Techfest last year I took the class on image building and their tool did everything to take a stock Windows install, be it on a server or terminal and made all necessary changes to make it Aloha ready. Everything from setting up users to setting Lanacfg. I can also attest to this as I've used it exclusively on my last 4 new terminal/server setups.

Lucas can you share a link to this tool I have never heard of it would love to take a look at it.

This link has both the documentation and the program. When you try to extract the program, it's going to complain about a file already existing (ib.exe), just tell it to overwrite it. I've never taken the time to rezip it. That's just how it was when I received it from NCR.

Hi Lucas, we are trying to update a site from 6.7 to 12.3 due to a new cc processor's requirements, would you be able to share that link with the documentation for it? I'll really appreciate it! Thanks

HIR Comms,
Upgrade from 6.7 old aloha manager to 12.3 new Aloha manager is not for everyone.
Many things need to happen before 12.3 can be installed.
I have attached the documentation from NCR site

Upgrade from 6.7 new aloha manger to 12.3 is a simple anytimeupdate.
