Firewall Requirements

The following changes are required to be made to the Windows Firewall settings to allow Enterprise Reporter to return all available data during a discovery. Without these settings, the data returned during a discovery will be limited and the discovery will indicate the following error:

•

The RPC server is unavailable. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BA)

Table 13. Firewall requirements for a discovery

Database Requirements

The Enterprise Reporter server requires a database to store configuration specifications and the information that will be collected from your network environment. Before you install Enterprise Reporter, determine where you will set up your database. It should reside on a SQL Server® that is accessible from the computer running the Enterprise Reporter server. For more information, see SQL Server Supported Versions .

Topics:

•

Configuring the Database and Security Groups

In order for the server to function, you must have a fully configured Enterprise Reporter database. You can either:

•

Create and configure the database automatically during the installation process. Unless you have corporate reasons for not doing so, this is the recommended method. For more information, see To create a new database during the installation process .

•

Use an existing Enterprise Reporter database. If the database is from a previous version of Enterprise Reporter, it will be upgraded, so ensure you back up your database before beginning. For more information, see To use an existing Enterprise Reporter database during the initial installation .

The simplest way to configure the database is to allow Enterprise Reporter to set up the database following installation. You need to know the SQL Server® on which you want to create the database, and you can use either Windows® or SQL Server® credentials to connect to your SQL Server®.


	NOTE: In order to create the database, the currently logged in account must have appropriate rights (including SysAdmin rights) on the SQL Server®, or you must use appropriate SQL credentials. NOTE: In order to upgrade the database, the currently logged in account must have db-owner rights on the SQL Server, or you must use appropriate SQL credentials. NOTE: In order to create groups, the currently logged in account must be able to add groups to the domain’s Users OU, and be able to add members to groups.

•

If you use an existing database, you can connect to it during the installation process. You must know the database name and the SQL Server® where it resides.


	CAUTION: Any existing database will automatically be upgraded (even if it is new and empty). Ensure you back up the database before beginning.

•

If you complete the installation process without a fully functioning database, use the Database Wizard to create a new database. For more information, see Using the Database Wizard to Create or Connect a Database .


	NOTE: Enterprise Reporter must have a database to fully function. If there is no database, you will receive an error message when trying to log on with the Configuration Manager.

There are parameters that you can set when creating an Enterprise Reporter database:

•

You can adjust the initial size of the database or the database log file. If your database will contain a lot of collected data, increase its size. This will improve performance. Use the Database Estimator Tool for further information based on the types of collections being performed.

•

You can choose where to store the database and logs by specifying file paths.

When you allow Enterprise Reporter to create the database, you also have the option to automatically create the following Domain Local security groups:

•

Reporter_Discovery_Admins

•

Reporter_Reporting_Admins

•

Reporter_Reporting_Operators

•

Reporter_Discovery_Nodes

You may optionally enter customized group names during setup. Assign names that reflect the purpose of each group to ensure clarity when group names are displayed in various system administration tools.

These groups provide access to the appropriate tables in the Enterprise Reporter database and are used to allow Windows® authentication on the SQL Server®. For more information, see Security Groups in Enterprise Reporter .


	NOTE: If you enter the names of existing security groups, Enterprise Reporter will use the existing groups instead of creating new ones.


	NOTE: If you choose not to allow Enterprise Reporter to create the necessary groups, the database will be created without the necessary security groups and SQL roles for Enterprise Reporter to function.

A corresponding SQL login and role is created for each group.

•

For example, for the Reporter_Discovery_Admins group, a Reporter_Discovery_Admins login and a Discovery_Admin_Role are created.

•

In this example, the Reporter_Discovery_Admins will then be given the Discovery_Admin_Role. These roles will define the scope of access to Enterprise Reporter. For more information, see Role Based Security in Enterprise Reporter .
