Separate Volume / Drive Installation

If your Supportworks Application is to be installed on a drive other than the C: drive

Enable 8dot3name creation for the required drives prior to installation by running the following from the command prompt. To enable this on all drives on the server (recommended)

fsutil 8dot3name set 0

You can also enable the 8dot3name for a specific drive . For example, ifSupportworks is to be installed on the D drive, run the following

fsutil 8dot3name set d:0


Firewall Configuration

Your firewall must be configured to allow connections to the server on the following TCP ports:

5001- 5008
80 and 443

110 (POP3) or 995 (POP3s)

389 (LDAP) or 636 (LDAPs)


Supported Web Browsers

Sizing Your Server – Minimum Memory and CPU Requirements

You will require a server with a minimum specification of

4GB RAM
1 Quad Core CPU
The same amount of disk space on your existing Supportworks plus additional 2GB for the installation files
Supportworks will be migrated to the same drive as your existing Supportworks application server.

If a physical server is provided, we strongly recommend RAID 5 SCSI for resilience and performance
