For general use the following host machine is recommended for the server application:
Server Operating System:
Windows 2003 server with the latest service packs. The installation pack comes with the set of service packs installers as per availability at the date when the project was built. The user is responsible for checking the Microsoft web site for later service packs and hot fixes.
IIS:
Internet Information Services: 5.0 ≤ IIS version ≤ 6.0
SQL Server:
SQL Server 2000: SP4 or later: 8.00.2039 ≤ SQL 2000 version < 9.0
SQL Server 2005: SP1 or later: 9.00.2047 ≤ SQL 2005 version < 10.0
SQL Server 2005 Express Edition: 9.00.2047 ≤ SQL 2005 Express version < 10.0
.Net Framework 2.0: version in pre-install directory
2.0.50727 ≤ .Net Framework version < 2.1
For small network trials, where backup and redundancy capability within the host machine is not required, the following specification can be used for the Netspan Server:
Server Operating System:
Windows 2003 server with the latest service packs. The installation pack comes with the set of service packs installers as per availability at the date when the project was built. The user is responsible for checking the Microsoft web site for later service packs and hot fixes.
