The
Endpoint
Encryption
Communications
Server
process
runs
under
Microsoft
Windows
2000/2003.
Currently
some
customers
report
that
it
works
well
under
Windows
2008,
however
McAfee
has
not
officially
certified
this.
Please
see
the
McAfee
KnowledgeBase
article
KB53698
for
current
information
on
supported
environments.
The
performance
required
depends
primarily
upon
the
number
of
concurrent
connections
an
enterprise
can
experience
and
the
number
of
concurrent
object
creation
events.
Real
world
implementations
suggest
the
following
minimum
and
recommended
configurations.
Note
the
term
“Object
Directory”
used
throughout
this
guide
refers
to
the
database
or
store
for
users,
endpoints
and
other
settings,
and
files
for
Endpoint
Encryption
management.

Migrating
an

between

is
simple
so
it
is
possible
to
start
with

and
later
extend
it
to

configuration
in

with
performance
monitoring
and
capacity
planning.

:
These
may
vary
depending
on
other
configuration
settings.
