How to Install System Center Orchestrator 2016: Step-by-Step Guide.
Preparing
Before we begin the installation process, please check all SCORCH requirements:
The minimum hardware & software:
- Windows Server 2012, 2012 R2, 2016 (Desktop Experience)
- 2 GB of RAM.
- 200MB of disk space
- 2.1GHz dual-core CPU or faster
Windows Features:
- IIS – the setup will enable this feature if not already installed
- Microsoft .NET 3.5 SP1
- WCF Services – HTTP Activation
SQL Server:
- SQL Server Standard or Enterprise:
- 2012 SP2
- 2014
- 2014 SP1
- 2016
- Collation: SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
Active Directory
- orcsvc – A service account to run all the Orchestrator components.
- ORC Admins – A security group with all your Orchestrator administrators.
Firewall:
Since we’re installing all components (except the SQL Server) on the same server we only need to open the following port (I use 14332 from SQL Installation):
| Source | Destination | Port |
|---|---|---|
| Orchestrator Server | SQL Server | TCP: 14332 |
If you’re planning on accessing the Orchestrator Console for other servers/PCs you will also need to open the following ports:
| Source | Destination | Port |
|---|---|---|
| Client | Orchestrator Server | TCP: 81, 82 |
Other:
- Silverlight 4 or 5 is required to view the Orchestrator Console.
