Verify that you have Administrative access rights to Windows on the server.
Check that all required Windows updates are installed.
Verify that Microsoft Windows Updates is turned on while you are deploying AutoStore. This is necessary for the successful installation of Microsoft Windows Identity Foundation (WIF).
Ensure that Windows Identity Foundation 3.5 is installed on the server (to verify it, launch Server Manager > select Local Server > verify that Windows Identity Foundation 3.5 is listed under Roles and Features).
Review the supported Canon ports in the DRS and Client communication ports.
Verify that IE Enhanced Security Configuration is turned off for administrators in IE Enhanced Security Configuration (to access this, go to Server Manager > Local Server).
Check that you have all required components downloaded and within easy reach (components and download locations are listed in the section below). Check the following licensing steps in Canon licensing required to install the client.
If you are planning to use any AutoStore route component that requires client software, ensure that this software is installed on your server machine before starting deployment.
Verify that you have Administrative access to the device.
