Minimum
Hardware Requirements for any or all MessageStats Server components

Processor

Pentium 4, running at a minimum speed of 2.4 GHz

RAM

8 GB

Disk

90 MB of free disk space

SQL connectivity

For SQL database connectivity, you must install the new version of Microsoft OLE DB Driver for SQL Server (MSOLEDBSQL). You can find the download here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=56730.

Other

Sufficient space for the temporary MessageStats caches, application logs, and task documents. The size of the cache depends on the number of servers, the number of logs on each server, and the size of each log. The space should exist on a local drive rather than a network drive.

Monitor capable of supporting a resolution 1024 by 768

Pointing device must be installed on your server to access all MessageStats features.

The minimum software requirements are listed for each of the MessageStats server components. If you install more than one component on the same computer, you must meet the requirements for each component.

Operating Systems

Windows Server 2012 or later

Full installation on Windows 10 is supported for evaluation purposes only.

NOTE: In a production environment, you can install only the MessageStats client console on Windows 10.
Task Processor Specific Requirements

MAPI

For Exchange 2010 or 2013 you can install the newest Microsoft MAPI & CDO software download (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=39045) on the Task Execution Server.

•
For Exchange 2010, ensure that you are using MAPI & CDO version 6.5.8211.0 or later.
•
For Exchange 2013, ensure that you are using MAPI & CDO version 6.5.8320.0 (released 5/17/2013). This version of MAPI & CDO implements RPC over HTTPS (Outlook Anywhere) which requires that the proxy (CAS) server have an SSL certificate on it that is trusted by the Task Execution Server.

Configuring an SSL certificate on your Exchange 2013 CAS (proxy) server is part of the normal setup that is required for the Outlook 2013 client. For more information, see the Microsoft Exchange 2013 documentation for configuring mail flow and client access.

If you already have a version of the MAPI Download installed, you must remove it before installing a new version. The Microsoft MAPI installer does not upgrade, nor does it warn you if you try to install MAPI & CDO without removing the previous version.

.Net

Microsoft .Net Framework 4.7.2

Can be downloaded from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-framework/net472

Microsoft PowerShell 2.0

For Exchange 2010, 2013, 2016, and 2019, you must also install Microsoft PowerShell 2.0.

You can download the Windows Management Framework (which includes PowerShell 2.0) from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968929.

Report Client Specific Requirements

Microsoft Lync and Outlook

To see the presence status information in Exchange mailbox-specific reports, the person that is viewing the reports on the web site must have Lync Communicator 2010 or later and Outlook installed and running on their local computer.

For 64-bit computers, the 64-bit version of Microsoft Office 2010 or later must be installed. If a 32-bit version of Office, such as Office 2010 (x86) is installed, the presence icons will not appear since the 64-bit version of the required Name.dll will not be available.

NOTE: The Exchange organization must have Lync Server or later configured and running.
