Install the Quarantine Server Software

[Xavier Mustin]

Install the Quarantine Server Software

Make sure you have installed the Quarantine Server software on your management computer. You usually do this when you select server components to install when you set up WatchGuard System Manager. If you did not do this, run the setup procedure again as described in Install WatchGuard System Manager Software, but select only the Quarantine Server component.
Run the WatchGuard Server Center Setup Wizard

The WatchGuard Server Center Setup Wizard sets up the Quarantine Server and any other servers you have installed. The WatchGuard Server Center Setup Wizard starts automatically the first time that you open WatchGuard Server Center.
On the computer where you installed the Quarantine Server software:

1. Right-click
   
   in the system tray and select Open WatchGuard Server Center.
   
   The WatchGuard Server Center Setup Wizard appears.
2. Review the information on the first page of the wizard to make sure you have all the information necessary to complete the wizard. Click Next.
3. Type the name of your organization. Click Next.
4. Type and confirm the Administrator passphrase to use for all your WatchGuard servers. Click Next.
5. (Optional) Type the IP Address of your gateway Firebox. Click Add. Click Next.
6. (Optional) Type your Management Server License Key. Click Next.
7. Type the Log Server Encryption key. Click Next.
8. Type the domain for which you want to quarantine messages. Click Add. Click Next.
9. (Optional) Download and install the WebBlocker database. Click Next.
   
   It can take a long time to download and install the database. You can install the database later if you choose to not install it in the wizard.
10. Review your settings. Click Next.
    The wizard configures your servers.
11. Click Finish to exit the wizard.

For more information, see the complete Set Up WatchGuard Servers.

If you install the Quarantine Server software after you have already configured other WatchGuard servers, the wizard does not start automatically when you open the WatchGuard Server Center. To configure the Quarantine Server, you must open WatchGuard Server Center, select the Quarantine Server, and click Launch Wizard.​
