Tim OlsenGeorgia State Universityhttp://www.timolsen.com CIS 4120  Business Process ManagementThis is not so much a tutorial as it is a directions list. I assume you have setup an AWS instance of somekind. If you have not, head over toEC2 for Poets.1.

Sign into theAWS Console:2.

Click on AMIs and search for this one: Ami-45c22ec2The description should say: Windows-Server2008-i386-Base-v102This is a plain vanilla instance of Windows 2008. Windows 2008 is much snapper through RemoteDesktop than Windows 2003.3.

Right click on the instance you have found, and say Run instance.A wizard will then pop up that looks like this:

You can change the instance type to be High CPU if you like. It will be 4x more expensive, buthey, you only live once. Press Continue.5.

Then if you still have your keypair file select that keypair. If you dont have it, get a new keypairfile. Press Continue.6.

Select a security group. Use one that you created last time. Press Continue.7.

Review your setup. And launch!Now its break time. You need about 10-15 minutes before you can get your password to your newmachine and login.8.

After that time, right click your instance in the instance area of the AWS console, and press GetWindows Password. This is where you need your KeyPair file.It will give you a very complex password. Copy and paste this somewhere safe.Then right click the instance again and press Connect. See this screen shot:Select option 1 and download the shortcut file then click on it.

A few warning dialogs will pop up, thats ok, just accept them, and put in your complex windowspassword. You can change this password, but dont loose it.Now you are in. Staring at the desktop of some machine server in the cloud! Click on the WorkNetwork when that pops up.Ok now that you are in you have two tasks:9.

Install IIS (Internet Information Services)This is a webserver which will let you share your automated processes with the world.10.

And Install BizAgiThis will let you execute your processes and deliver them through the webserver.To install IIS:Click on Start (i.e the Start button in the Windows task bar) then click the search box right above it andtype Server Manager. Open Server Manager. Then click Roles, then Add Roles.A window will pop up. Read it, then press next, then select Web Server (IIS) out of the list of 17 roles.A pop up will come upand just answer in the affirmative. Then press Next until you get to a screen that looks like this:
