Fresh install for version 11.44 on win

Hi, ​@Abbdallah - our Arlie chatbot can offer step-by-step guidance and documentation for fresh Windows install checklists for CommServe and/or for MediaAgent/client. I suggest asking Arlie to generate the checklist(s) for you directly, and then let us know here if you have other questions or need something else.
 

Here are some resources to get you started:

• Commvault strongly encourages moving CommServe server, Web Server, and Command Center to Linux for better performance, stability, efficiency, and security.
