Evaluation Requirements

Supported Operating Systems:

• Windows 2008 (x86/x64) Enterprise - TEM 7.1+
• Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition
• Windows 2003 (x86/x64) Enterprise - TEM 6.0+

Note: 64-Bit version of Windows 2003 is supported for TEM 6.0 and above.

Database Requirements:

• No database is necessary for the eval version (MSDE 2000 will be installed if no database is detected).
• If a default instance of SQL Server 2000 or 2005 is detected, it will be used instead of MSDE.

Note: SQL Server 2005 (32-Bit and 64-Bit) is supported for TEM 6.0 and above.

Hardware Requirements:

• The TEM Server should be run on a dedicated server computer with 2 GHZ+ CPU and 1 GB+ of RAM.
• 5 GB+ of free disk space is recommended for best results (although only a minimum of 300 MB is strictly necessary for the TEM components and database).
  

Network Requirements:

• The TEM Server must have Internet access.
• The firewall/proxy cannot strip out unknown HTTP headers when the TEM Server connects to the TEM Fixlet servers at http://sync.bigfix.com on port 80.
• All TEM Clients should be able to connect to the TEM Server using HTTP on the specified port (default port is 52311).
• The TEM Server should be able to send UDP messages on the specified port (default port is 52311) to all the TEM Clients.
• The TEM Server must be accessible from each TEM Console using an ODBC connection.
• Avoid running personal firewall products on the TEM Server.

Note: These requirements are for the standard evaluation version and the production version of TEM can support many other advanced deployment options such as air gap installations, different port numbers, etc.
