Enterprise Reporter 3.5 - Installation and Deployment Guide

Product Overview Installation Considerations for Enterprise Reporter Installing and Configuring Enterprise Reporter Managing Your Enterprise Reporter Deployment Troubleshooting Issues with Enterprise Reporter Appendix: Database Content Wizard Appendix: Encryption Key Manager Appendix: Log Viewer

Failover recovery using SQL clusters

Using a SQL cluster instead of a single server allows for automatic failover recovery in the event that a SQL Server is down. Tasks are automatically passed to another SQL Server®. Your cluster can be configured with Always On.

System Requirements

Before installing Enterprise Reporter, ensure that your system meets the following minimum hardware and software requirements.

Topics:  

For the Enterprise Reporter Server, we recommend the following minimum hardware.

Memory

Processor

Intel® or AMD 2 GHz multiprocessor (with at least 2 cores)

Hard disk space

For the Configuration Manager and Report Manager, we recommend the following minimum hardware.

Memory

Processor

Intel® or AMD 2 GHz multiprocessor (with at least 2 cores)

Hard disk space

For the Enterprise Reporter nodes, we recommend the following minimum hardware. For detailed recommendations for node requirements, see Optimize Node Setup .

Memory

Processor

Intel® or AMD 2 GHz multiprocessor (with at least 2 cores - 4 recommended)

Hard disk space

For the Enterprise Reporter SQL Server, we recommend the following minimum hardware.

Memory

Processor

Intel® or AMD 2 GHz multiprocessor (with at least 4cores)

Hard disk space

The Enterprise Reporter database is the storage location of all data collected for reporting. As such, the amount of hard disk space required is directly related to the amount of data being collected. The Database Size Estimator tool shipped with Enterprise Reporter can help determine how much space will be required.

Larger environments may have additional requirements for memory, processor, and hard disk space. There are many factors that can affect these requirements.

The following hardware is required for Enterprise Reporter 3.2 and higher.

Intel® or AMD 2 GHz multiprocessor (with at least 2 cores)

The following operating systems are supported for Enterprise Reporter components.

Enterprise Reporter can be configured to work with a SQL Server® instance. To secure communications while working with Enterprise Reporter, data sent over connections to the SQL Server can be encrypted using an SSL certificate.

The steps required to configure this encryption are as follows.

The following software is required for Enterprise Reporter 3.5.0 and higher.

The following services are required on the Enterprise Reporter server and nodes.

The following services must be enabled on discovery targets for collections.

Overview of Enterprise Reporter communications and required credentials

There are many communication channels in Enterprise Reporter, involving different sets of credentials. This allows for controlled access to your environment, but you must understand where each set of credentials are used, and what permissions they need.

Figure 2 outlines where and for what each of the credentials are used, and the following tables explain the necessary permissions. For information on managing the credentials used in the Configuration Manager, see the Using the Credential Manager section in the Quest Enterprise Reporter Configuration Manager User Guide.

Topics:  

Node credential and alternate credential details for on-premises discoveries

Node credentials are provided when a discovery node is created, and you can modify them as needed. By default, the node’s credentials are used to enumerate scopes and access on-premises targets.

If you want to use different credentials for a particular discovery, you can configure them in the Discovery Wizard. By using these alternate credentials, you can target anything on-premises for which you have credentials, in any domain. You can minimize the permissions given to node credentials, and use alternate credentials for scoping and collecting your on-premises discoveries.

The following table outlines the use of the node and alternate credentials, and how to properly configure your environment to ensure successful data collection:

Discovery Node

Enterprise Reporter Server

Provide server with job status, errors, statistics and logs.

Configured during node creation, or when you edit the node properties to change the credentials.

The node credentials must have local administrator access to the host computer and be a member of the group “Reporter_Discovery_Nodes”.

Discovery Node

Shared Data Location (if the cluster is configured to use one)

Read and write to the shared data location during data collection.

The shared data location is configured during the creation of a cluster. Ensure the node has read and write access to this file share.

For more information, see the Things to Consider Before Creating a Cluster section in the Configuration Manager User Guide

Discovery Node

Enterprise Reporter Database

There are two options for communicating with the database:

1. You can use the same service credentials that the node service uses.

2. You can specify SQL credentials only for use when the database is accessed.

The credentials you choose must be able to read and write to the database.

The account must be in the Reporter_Discovery_Nodes security group. (Note that if you use the same account as the Enterprise Reporter server it is already permissioned appropriately).

If you use SQL authentication to connect with the database, you must manually permission the SQL user, either by adding them to the database role Discovery_Nodes_Role or by permissioning specific tables in the database.

Discovery Node

Targets

Read access on all targets.

For on-premises discoveries, all domains with which the credentials have a forest or domain level trust will be enumerated.

If required, you can configure alternate credentials for specific discoveries, instead of using the default node credentials.

 

The targets are defined as part of a discovery. The discovery tasks are assigned to a particular node based on availability, so all nodes in a cluster should have access to all targets defined in all discoveries assigned to the node’s cluster.

For on-premises discoveries, ensure the node credentials or alternate credentials have read access to the target. In addition, a trust is required between the node computer and the targets.

For more information on Azure and Office 365 Discoveries, see Detailed permissions for Enterprise Reporter discoveries .
