IIS must be installed. SolarWinds recommends that SolarWinds software administrators
have local administrator privileges to ensure full functionality of local SolarWinds tools.
Accounts limited to use of the Orion Web Console do not require administrator privileges.
Notes:
n SolarWinds does not support production installations of SolarWinds products on
Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7 systems.
n If you are installing SolarWinds UDT on Windows Server 2003, confirm that your full
computer name is no longer than 15 characters in length. Windows Server 2003 trims
any characters beyond the fifteenth, and this may prevent SolarWinds services from
properly identifiying your UDT server.
n While UDT is supported on Windows Server 2008 R2, it is not supported on Windows
Server 2008.
