Preparing Windows Server
This chapter gives you information on how to prepare Windows 2000 and Windows
2003 servers for installation of Parallels H-Sphere components and notes you should
consider before proceeding to the installation.
Notes:
- We don't install Parallels H-Sphere on live servers.
- On Windows, the users group by default has the read/write permissions on all disks.
Upon Parallels H-Sphere installation, the users group is stripped of the read/write
permissions on the system directory and other directories that may affect hosting. No
other permissions are modified. If needed, change them by yourself.
Hardware and Partitioning Requirements
For better functioning we recommend having not less than 256 MB RAM. And as for
partitions it's better to break it into two:
C:\ for system files and program files - at least 5 GB.
D:\ for users' content - the rest of the HDD.
Important: partition containing users' content must be NTFS formated to support disk
space quota.
Software Requirements
Before installing Parallels H-Sphere to Windows platform, make sure your system
complies with the following software requirements:
1 32-bit only version of Windows
2 Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2000 Advanced Server, Windows
2003 Servers, Windows 2003 Web Edition (more on Microsoft Server
2003 limitations:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/evaluation/overview/def
ault.mspx)
a) must not be PDC (Primary Domain Controller), i.e Parallels HSphere cannot be installed on Windows 2003 SBS because it works
only as PDC
b) must not be in Active Directory mode
3 Terminal Service or pcAnywhere for remote access to the computer
4 Both, the system disk and the one with user homes, must have NTFS
file system
5 External IP
