Chapter 2: Installing SolarWinds
User Device Tracker
Installing SolarWinds User Device Tracker (SolarWinds UDT) is a wizard-driven
process. Resource and space requirements are such that most deployments do
not require hardware updates to your Orion Server.
SolarWinds UDT is a standalone product. It can be installed by itself or with other
SolarWinds products (for example SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor) to
provide an integrated experience.
Scalability
By adding individual polling engines, you can transparently scale your
SolarWinds UDT installation to any environment.
Requirements for SolarWinds UDT
SolarWinds recommends installing your Orion product on its own server, with the
Orion database hosted separately, on its own SQL Server. Installations of multiple
SolarWinds UDT servers using the same database are not supported.
UDT Server Software Requirements
The following table lists minimum software requirements and recommendations
for your UDT server.
Software
Requirements
Operating
System
Windows Server 2003, 2008 R2, 2012 or 2012 R2 with IIS in 32-bit
mode.
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.
