WHAT TYPE OF MACHINE
IS REQUIRED TO RUN PRAETOR? |
| |
|
These
recommendations*
are suggested for Praetor's optimal performance
assuming a daily received message volume of 50
per user per day. Focus on the
received message volume which may be more
indicative of a site's size than the number of
users. Praetor will function
on a lesser machine but delivery may be slowed down a few seconds. |

STEP 2 |
WHAT MICROSOFT COMPONENTS
MUST BE RUNNING BEFORE INSTALLING PRAETOR? |
| |
|
These
Microsoft components must running on the same machine
where Praetor will be installed.
|
|
 |
Windows 2000 or 2003 Server,
Windows 2000 or XP Professional Edition.
Exchange Server v5.5 requires a separate Praetor
machine. |
|
|
IIS with SMTP and Web Server Components.
For further info:
|
|
|
Dedicated
Internet connection |
|
|
Microsoft Visual Basic Script DLL version 5.6 or later |
|
|
| STEP 3 |
PRAETOR
AUTOMATICALLY INSTALLS WHAT OTHER MICROSOFT
COMPONENTS? |
|
|
Praetor's
installation process checks for the
presence of these other required Microsoft
components.
If not
found, Praetor automatically downloads these from
Microsoft. |
|
|
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 or later
|
|
|
|
Special considerations for Windows 2003 |
|
 |
Windows 2003 OS already has "ASP.NET". Read "ASPNET
in Windows 2003 Server" to confirm that the
configuration is complete. |
|
|
|
Microsoft SQL Server or Desktop Edition (MSDE) |
|
|
|
| To manually
install these Microsoft components: |
| If it's not desirable to
let the Praetor
Installer automatically download and install
these Microsoft components, this can be done manually. |
