  • Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2
• Additional software:
  • Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.2 or later
  • Microsoft Windows PowerShell 3.0 or later
  • Microsoft SQL Server 2012 or later (all editions)
    This is a requirement of the IT Security Search Warehouse component, which needs it for internal configuration management.
• Additional requirements for the Recovery Manager for Active Directory connector:
  • Enable remote commands in Windows PowerShell. For details, see https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ff700227.aspx.
  • The PowerShell script execution policy must be set to RemoteSigned. Run the following cmdlet:
    Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
• Additional requirements for the Active Roles connector:
  • Active Roles Management Tools
  • The PowerShell script execution policy must be set to RemoteSigned.

Browser Compatibility

The IT Security Search Web interface works correctly with the following browsers:

• Microsoft Edge
• Microsoft Internet Explorer 11
• Google Chrome 40.0 or later
• Mozilla Firefox 35.0 or later

The minimum supported monitor resolution is 1024x768.

Hardware Requirements

• CPU: Quad-core; recommended: Intel Xeon E5-2670 v2 (Ivy Bridge) and 8–16 logical CPU cores
• RAM: 6GB minimum; 15GB or more recommended
• Disk: 100GB (SSD recommended); disk space requirements are very dependent on the volume of Enterprise Reporter data being processed, because the index size varies proportionally; the indexes for Change Auditor and InTrust data do not consume any disk space on the IT Security Search computer, because they are located in the data stores used by these systems
• If you deploy on a virtual machine, make sure the CPU and memory requirements above are met, and do not overload the virtual machine host

To find out the disk requirements for IT Security Search installation, consider the table below. It shows how much disk space is used for indexing in a sample environment with 10000 of each type of object. Scale the values according to your own circumstances.

To display events rather than objects, IT Security Search uses the built-in indexes in InTrust and Change Auditor data stores.

Where to Install

It is recommended that you install IT Security Search in the same domain as the servers of your data-providing systems: InTrust, Enterprise Reporter, Change Auditor, Recovery Manager for Active Directory and Active Roles. Do not install IT Security Search on any of those systems' servers.

Product licensing

This product does not require licensing.
