Supported Environments

The following is a list of supported and unsupported environments. If implementing directory synchronization between two Active Directory environments, you will need a Binary Tree Windows Server and an SQL Server database server.

	Supported	Not Supported
Binary Tree Windows Server	Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2016, or Windows Server 2019; US English Operating System	All other versions of Windows Server
SQL Server Database	SQL Server can be a new or existing database server in the customer’s environment. The following SQL Server versions (English versions) are supported: • SQL Server 2008 R2 • SQL Server 2008 R2 Express with Advanced Services • SQL Server 2012 SP2 • SQL Server 2012 SP2 Express with Advanced Services • SQL Server 2014 • SQL Server 2014 Express with Advanced Services • SQL Server 2016 • SQL Server 2016 Express with Advanced Services • SQL Server 2017 • SQL Server 2017 Express with Advanced Services	SQL Server 2008 or previous Reporting using SQL Server Reporting Services 2016 or SQL Server Express Reporting Services 2016
Domain	At least one Windows Server 2003 SP2 Domain Controller in Source and Target

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 BTDirSync service (full name BinaryTree.DirSync.Exchange.exe) must have the following rights:

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

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

· Exchange cannot be installed on this server.

· Binary Tree Directory Sync Pro for Active Directory 20.10.1 –Requirements and Installation Guide Section 2. Directory Sync Pro Prerequisites 7

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

· If using the Password Copy functionality of Active Directory Pro Synchronization, PsExec must be installed in the Directory Sync Pro program directory (C:\Program Files\Binary Tree\DirSync).

SQL Server Database Requirements

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

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

Ø 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.

Ø SQL Server must be configured using Mixed Mode authentication.

Ø 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.

Ø 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:

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

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

o The “SQL Server Browser” must be running.

General Requirements

· All components of Directory Sync Pro are fully functional on physical as well as virtual machines. When setting up Proof of Concept or Pilot environments, the use of virtual machines as a means of lowering the expense of such projects is fully supported and recommended. However, when it comes to production environments, sufficient information to determine whether virtual environments have the same stability and performance characteristics as physical machines has not yet been gathered. Because a majority of production environments have been and are deployed on physical machines, potential customers are advised of these facts, but defers to them to make the final decision. Product support will be provided in both physical and virtual environments. However, if either stability or performance issues are found in a virtual environment, switching to a physical one as a means of issue correction may be recommended.

· Binary Tree Servers must be connected via a LAN (10MB or higher) connection. A high-speed WAN (5MB or higher) connection may be acceptable but is not recommended. Where possible, it is recommended to have these servers, as well as Exchange on the same physical network.

INSTALLATION

The steps for installing Directory Sync Pro for Active Directory for Active Directory at the same time. Installing Directory Sync Pro for Active Directory first and running the installer again to install the Migrator Pro for Active Directory components is another option.

The installer creates a local group on the Directory Sync Pro for Active Directory server named BTDirSyncPro and will add the currently logged in user to the group. Other users or a Domain group can be added to provide access to other users.

1. 1. Download the installer executable file from the FTP site and save it on the Binary Tree Windows Server.

2. 2. Double-click the executable to begin installing Migrator Pro for Active Directory. The Welcome screen appears. Click Next to continue.

3. The License Agreement screen appears. To accept the terms of the license agreement and continue with the install, select “I accept the terms in the license agreement” and click Next

4. 4. The Setup Type screen appears.

• Select Default Installation to install Directory Sync Pro for Active Directory and/or Migrator Pro for Active Directory with the default configuration options. A series of screens will appear while installing the needed databases and features. The Install Wizard Completed screen will appear when done.

5. The Installation screen appears and will remain open. The Recommended Components screen will appear in a separate window. You will be prompted if there are applications using files that need to be updated by the installer.

6. When the installation completes, the InstallShield Wizard Complete message appears. Click Finish.

Also, click Finish on the Installation window.

CONFIGURATION

The Apps screen or Start Menu is updated, and the Migrator Pro for Active Directory and Directory Sync Pro for Active Directory icons are added to the desktop.
