Prepare to Install
Before you install DeviceLock Content Security Server, consider the following:
•The DeviceLock Content Security Server setup program installs two DeviceLock components: Search Server and Discovery Server.
•To install and operate DeviceLock Content Security Server, the following system requirements must be met:
Operating system | Microsoft Windows Server 2003/2003 R2, Windows Server 2008/2008 R2, Windows Server 2012/2012 R2, Windows Server 2016, or Windows Server 2019. Installation is supported on both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems. |
Database server | Microsoft SQL Server 2005, 2008, 2008 R2, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2017, or 2019, any edition, including SQL Server Express. |
Important: Database server is required to run the Search Server and Discovery Server (see
Database settings for details). |
Hard disk space | Minimum: 1 GB Recommended: 800 GB (in case of local database server) |
•You must have administrator permissions to install DeviceLock Content Security Server.
•For optimal performance and reliability, we recommend that you install DeviceLock Enterprise Server and DeviceLock Content Security Server on different computers.
•There is a special Search Server license which you must purchase for DeviceLock Content Security Server. You can use the same license on an unlimited number of computers running DeviceLock Content Security Server.
Search Server licensing is based on the number of log entries to be indexed for full-text search. Each license allows the indexing of 1,000 entries in the Shadow Log (including shadow copies), 1,000 entries in the UAM log (including keyboard input records), and 5,000 entries in each of the other logs (Audit Log, Deleted Shadow Data Log, Server Log, Monitoring Log, and Policy Log).
Depending upon the actual number of log entries on your DeviceLock Enterprise Server/s, you can purchase as many licenses as required. If using several licenses, the Search Server can index as many log entries as the total license count allows. Additional Search Server licenses can be purchased and installed at any time.
The trial period for DeviceLock Content Security Server is 30 days. During the trial period, the Search Server can index 2,000 entries in the Shadow Log, 2,000 entries in the UAM Log, and 10,000 entries in each of the other logs.
•There is a special DeviceLock Discovery license which you must purchase for DeviceLock Content Security Server. A license is required for each computer or network resource scanned with DeviceLock Discovery, regardless of whether you are going to scan the entire computer or a single folder. The trial period for DeviceLock Discovery is 30 days. During this period, DeviceLock Discovery can scan no more than two computers or network resources.
•In case you have several DeviceLock Enterprise Servers on your network, you can also install several DeviceLock Content Security Servers to balance the load.
•When several DeviceLock Content Security Servers are deployed, each Search Server has its own search index. Hence, you have to connect to every DeviceLock Content Security Server and run the same search queries on every Search Server in order to get the complete result set from all the data stored on all DeviceLock Enterprise Servers.
•There are two options for connecting DeviceLock Content Security Server and the database server. Before installing DeviceLock Content Security Server, decide which option best suits your needs:
1. ONE-TO-ONE - Installing one DeviceLock Content Security Server and connecting it to one database server. This option is most appropriate for small networks (up to several hundred computers).
2. MANY-TO-MANY - Installing several DeviceLock Content Security Servers and connecting each to its own database server. This option is typical for medium and large networks geographically distributed across a variety of segments.
•We strongly recommend that you exit all Windows programs before you start Setup.
