5.5 Installing Swyx Administration
A Swyx installation is administered using a snap-in module for the Microsoft Management Console called Swyx Administration.
Start the Swyx Administration installation immediately after completing the Swyx installation. You can also install Swyx Administration on other computers on the network to remotely administer Swyx.

- Script execution rule
Sets the script execution rule for Windows PowerShell to "AllSigned". Only scripts generated by a trustworthy author can be executed. This option is required for Swyx PowerShell support and must be enabled.
*AD Integration

Here, you can view the hard drive space usage and specify the installation directory for Swyx Administration.
8 Start the installation.
The installation will be performed automatically. Swyx Administration will then be available to you.
Installation of the Active Directory extension
The "Active Directory Extension" component is a native 64-bit module; therefore, it requires the use of the 64-bit version of Swyx Administration.
If Windows Server is installed as domain controller, the associated tools (Domain Services tools) are installed by default and links are created under "Control Panel | Administrative Tools".
If the Windows Server computer is not installed as domain controller, these tools may be installed subsequently.
