MessageStats 7.8 - Quick Start Guide

About This Guide Requirements for Installing the MessageStats Components Prerequisites for Gathering from Microsoft Exchange Planning a MessageStats Installation Appendix A: IIS Configuration Issues

MessageStats Reports

MessageStats Reports allow you to view usage statistics through a collection of dynamic, preconfigured reports. You can view the data within one Exchange organization or across multiple Exchange organizations. You can also change relevant report parameters interactively using on-page quick filters. Using the custom reports feature, you can create and save custom queries for later use.

In addition, you can create report subscriptions so that MessageStats can automatically create reports and notify a recipient list on a regular basis that specific reports are available.

For the current list of MessageStats Reports, see the MessageStats Reports User Guide. Several reports have additional variations, such as default grouping order. Within each variation you can change the filter, group, and sort criteria for each of these reports.

Requirements for Installing the MessageStats Components

Before you install MessageStats, you should assess your gathering and processing requirements. You can install all MessageStats components on a single server, but you may decide to install MessageStats components on separate servers to improve database and reporting performance.

Prerequisites differ among MessageStats components. The following tables list the requirements that must be met on the server on which you want to install a MessageStats component. If you intend to install more than one component on a server, the server must meet the requirements for all of the installed components.

The following sections describe the specific requirements for each MessageStats component:

MessageStats Database Minimum Requirements
MessageStats Reports Minimum Requirements
MessageStats Server Minimum Requirements

For information about the rights and permissions that are needed to install and operate MessageStats, see Rights and Permissions Required by MessageStats .

With the exception of the MessageStats Database, you cannot directly install MessageStats components on remote servers. The installation files must be copied to the server on which you are installing the components, and the installer must run on that server.

For the Microsoft Exchange-specific requirements, see Prerequisites for Gathering from Microsoft Exchange .

MessageStats Database Minimum Requirements

The server on which you install the MessageStats Database must meet the following hardware requirements:

 
Table 1. Database minimum hardware requirements.
Type
Minimum

Processor

Pentium 4 running at a minimum speed of 2.4 GHz

RAM

8 GB

Disk

The space requirement varies depending on the size of the database. If you are upgrading an existing database, the free disk must be larger than for a new database installation. Space requirements also depend on the amount of information you intend to write to the database and the length of time you intend to retain the records.

For help in assessing the amount of space that will be sufficient for your implementation, contact Support to acquire a database size estimation tool.

To tune your MessageStats database and maximize performance, contact Professional Services through your sales representative.

Other

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

The server on which you install the MessageStats Database must meet the following software requirements:

 
Table 2. Database minimum software requirements
Type
Minimum

Operating Systems

Windows Server 2012 and later

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

In a production environment, you can install only the MessageStats MMC client console on Windows 10.

Database Server

SQL Server 2012 or later.

MessageStats supports SQL Server Express for test and evaluation scenarios only.

SQL Server Agent must be installed and running to use the Database Management tasks: database reindexing, defragmenting, or database aging. SQL Express does not include the SQL Server Agent. Database Maintenance tasks are not available when running on SQL Express.

The MessageStats database requires that Microsoft OLE DB Driver for SQL Server"(MSOLEDBSQL) be installed when you are installing the database through the MessageStats installer. You can find the download here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=56730.

NOTE: When selecting a SQL collation, ensure the collation option that you select is Case Insensitive (CI).

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.
