2.2 Binary Tree Windows Server Requirements

  • .NET 4.6.1 or greater. The installer will install .NET 4.6.1 if the target machine does not already have it. All system patches, service packs, and security updates should be applied to you operating system to ensure compatibility with .NET 4.6.1.

  • IPv4 Only

  • The user running the Directory Sync service (full name BinaryTree.DirSync.Exchange.exe) must have the following rights:

    1. Administrator rights to SQL Server with sysadmin role (during installation).

    2. Local administrative rights to the Binary Tree Windows server (during installation).

  • Exchange cannot be installed on an Exchange Server.

  • The Binary Tree Windows Server must be a dedicated server for the Binary Tree solutions.

  • The Binary Tree Windows Server can be a workgroup (non-domain joined) server.  Note, in order to use Migrator Pro for Active Directory's Role Based Access Control functionality, product must be installed and configured on a Domain Joined server.

2.3 SQL Server Database Requirements

  • The IP address and either the default SQL port (1433) or an alternate port must be open to all Binary Tree servers.

  • The ability to create and modify tables in the Dirsync database on the SQL Server database server.

  • It is strongly recommended that the SQL Server database server is dedicated to SQL Server. This server can host other SQL databases, but should serve no other purpose than being a SQL Server database server.

  • SQL Server must be configured using Mixed Mode authentication.

  • Using the default system administrator SQL Server login account is not recommended. A Directory Sync SQL Server login account should be created. This account must have sysadmin and database owner rights to create the Dirsync database. The sysadmin right can be removed from this account once the install is complete.

  • If using a Remote Named Instance of SQL Server:

The incoming firewall rules on the machine that hosts the SQL Server instance must be modified.

Using the SQL default of dynamic ports for named instances:

  1. Create an inbound firewall “Program” rule whose program path is the named SQL database engine (ex: %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL14.<INSTANCE-NAME>\MSSQL\Binn\sqlservr.exe)

  2. Create an inbound firewall “Port” rule for UDP port 1434.

  3. The “SQL Server Browser” must be running.

Alternatively, you can setup a fixed port for the SQL instance following these instructions.
