Server role requirements

Windows Server 2003 and higher allow you to select the operating system components that are installed on the server to match the functions that you expect the server to perform. This reduces system administration and the amount of disk space used. Certain components of Meridian Enterprise require that some operating system components be installed in order to function correctly.

The following table lists the minimum server roles and role services that are required for particular Meridian Enterprise components. These roles and services must be installed on the computer that will host the Meridian component, whether on the same server with other roles and services or on a different server. Additional roles and services may be installed but are not required.
