The following is a list of tasks which must be completed following a new installation of PMDF.

1. Create PMDF's site-specific configuration files using the automatic configuration generation utility; see Chapter 3 and Chapter 5. If you did not choose to configure PMDF-MTA during your PMDF-MTA installation, then to configure PMDF-MTA later you may issue the command:

   http_server -s

   and then point your web browser (Netscape version 3.0 or later, or Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4.0 or later), with JavaScript enabled, at

   http://localhost:7633/

   
   Refer to Chapter 3 and Chapter 5 for information, step-by-step procedures, and an example configuration.
   

2. Once you have generated an initial configuration, you should take whatever additional steps may be required to complete the configuration of PMDF. The automatic configuration generator produces a checklist which details any additional steps required to complete the configuration of PMDF. Make sure to look over this checklist file. Note that the pmdf edit utility may be convenient to use when editing PMDF files; it is a Notepad-like application, geared towards editing PMDF configuration files.
3. If you did not do so before installing PMDF, ensure that the Windows Task Scheduler is running automatically; see Section 1.2.
4. If you will not be rebooting your system, then you should manually start up the PMDF Dispatcher and Job Controller at this time. You may either do this from the Control Panel---go to the Services icon and find the Dispatcher and Job Controller and start them---or you may start up the PMDF Dispatcher and Job Controller at the command line using the command:

   pmdf startup
