Product

Notes

Server OS

  • Windows Server 2022

  • Windows Server 2019

  • Windows Server 2016

For more detail about configuration of servers, please refer to Windows Server requirements.

Only 64-bit server OS are supported. The server must be domain-joined.

This version of Tachyon requires the server OS to be English because of a Known issues with certain regional settings.

If TLS 1.0 is disabled, then please ensure you follow the steps in If TLS1.0 is disabled to add registry entries, for the 1E Catalog Update Service to successfully connect to the 1E Cloud Catalog.

Note

This list shows only those OS versions in mainstream support by Microsoft, and therefore supported by Tachyon, and by 1E Client .

Please refer to Constraints of Legacy OS regarding the end of mainstream support.

For Microsoft product lifecycle details, please refer to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/search.

Refer to Support for Microsoft Rapid-Release Cycle on https://support.1e.com/ for details of which Current Branch versions are supported by 1E products, and known issues regarding specific versions.

SQL Server and SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS)

  • SQL Server 2019

  • SQL Server 2017

  • SQL Server 2016 SP3

For more detail, please refer to SQL Server requirements.

Standard and Enterprise editions of these versions of SQL Server and SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) are supported.

SQL Server 2016 RTM is not supported due to some issues, which are resolved by SP3.

Note

Tachyon only supports AlwaysOn Availability Groups on SQL Server Enterprise Edition. Please refer to High Availability options for SQL Server for HA options and their requirements.

Note

If you intend to integrate with third-party business intelligence products such as Power BI, you must install the Enterprise edition of SSAS as per their requirements.

A SQL Server database instance is required for the following databases:

  • 1ECatalog

  • ContentDistribution (optional - required for Nomad)

  • SLA-BI (optional - required for Patch Success)

  • SLA-Data

  • SLA-Integrate

  • SLA-Shared

  • TachyonExperience (optional - required for Tachyon Experience)

  • TachyonMaster

  • TachyonResponses

SLA Inventory databases

Tachyon Setup can install the above databases on separate SQL Server instances, however SLA-Data, SLA-Integrate, and SLA-Shared must exist on the same instance.

A SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) instance installed in Multidimensional mode is required for SLA Business Intelligence.

SLA Business Intelligence

SLA Business Intelligence (BI) is only required for the Patch Success application.

Together, the SLA Platform and BI installers create the following:

  • A database called SLA-BI on the SQL Server database instance.

  • A MOLAP cube called SLA-BI on the SSAS instance.

  • A linked server for the SLA databases to get data from the SLA-BI database and then from the SLA-BI cube.

  • A linked server for the SLA-BI database to get data from the SLA databases.

  • A datasource definition used by the SLA-BI cube to connect to the BI database.

If the SLA databases, BI database, or SSAS instance for BI, are on different SQL Servers then the BI installer enforces the use of a SQL login on each instance. If they are on the same SQL Server then the installer gives you a choice of using integrated security (domain user account) or a SQL login.

However, if you are installing all the components using Tachyon Setup instead of their individual installers, then you are not given the choice. Tachyon Setup always uses integrated security. Contact your 1E Account Team if your scenario requires the above-mentioned databases to be on different SQL Servers. This affects different servers, not different instances.

All SQL Server instances must be configured with the following:

  • A case-insensitive, accent-sensitive collation which is SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS by default,

  • Allow remote connections to this server enabled.

All SQL Servers should be configured with the SQL Server Browser service running in order for the BI installer to select from a list of instances.

SQL Server Management Studio is required to review the configuration and edit settings in 1E database tables.

If installing SQL Server locally, note:

  • SQL Server 2016 and 2017 require .NET Framework 4.6 or later

  • SQL Server setup requires PowerShell 2.0.

For the latest information about SQL Server prerequisites, please refer to http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=622999.

Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager

  • MECM CB 2303

  • MECM CB 2211

  • MECM CB 2207

  • MECM CB 2203

  • MECM CB 2111

  • MECM CB 2107

Tachyon uses Configuration Manager for the following optional apps and features:

Nomad provides the following Content Distribution features for Configuration Manager:

Nomad requires the Content Distribution web service to synchronize with the Configuration Manager database. For standalone primary site environments, permissions are automatically assigned to the service account of Content Distribution's web application pool service (by default Network Service) using the ConfigMgr_DViewAccess localgroup native to Configuration Manager.

For a CAS, this group is not created natively therefore additional steps are required to allow access. Please refer to Preparation: Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager preparation.

Web Server

  • IIS 10

See Windows Server roles and features for details about required Web Server roles and features.

Runtime libraries

  • Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable

  • Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable

  • ASP.NET Core Framework 3.1

  • .NET Framework 4.8

See Windows Server roles and features for details about required .NET Framework roles and features. To know supported combinations of OS and .NET Framework, please refer to: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/migration-guide/versions-and-dependencies.

  • Windows Server 2022 has .NET Framework 4.8 installed by default.

  • Windows Server 2019 has .NET Framework 4.7.2 installed by default.

  • Windows Server 2016 has .NET Framework 4.6.2 installed by default.

ASP.NET Core Hosting Bundle is required only for the Nomad. It is not included with the Operating System, and must be downloaded and installed separately. If it not already installed, Tachyon Setup will attempt to automatically download version 3.1.11 and install it. Alternatively you can download it, or a later version, and install it yourself. For more detail please refer to ASP.NET Core Hosting Bundle.

Installers include and automatically installs the redistributable packages for Visual C++ 2013 and Visual C++ 2015-2019. The Coordinator (licensing module on the Master Stack), and Switch (on Response Stack) are written in C++ using Visual Studio 2013 and 2019, therefore require the runtime (x64) versions of these packages. Other server components use .NET Framework.

SQL BCP is required by the Export All feature described in Exporting data from Explorer, and must be installed on each Tachyon Response Stack server (specifically the servers which have the Tachyon Core installed). BCP uses ODBC, which requires Microsoft ODBC Driver versions 13.1 and 17 and Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable to be installed first. Please refer toP SQL BCP for more detail.

Constraints of Legacy OS

In this documentation, the following are referred to as legacy OS. Below are described some known issues for these OS.

1E does not provide support for 1E products on the following OS unless the OS is explicitly listed as being supported for a specific 1E product or product feature. This is because Microsoft has ended mainstream support for these OS or they are not significantly used by business organizations.

  • Windows XP *

  • Windows Vista

  • Windows 7

  • Windows 8.0

  • Windows 8.1

  • Windows Server 2003 *

  • Windows Server 2008

  • Windows Server 2008 R2

  • Windows Server 2012

  • Windows Server 2012 R2

Note

1E Client and later will not install on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. Please contact 1E if you intend to continue using any of the other legacy OS. If you experience an issue, then please try replicating the issue on a supported OS.

For Microsoft product lifecycle details, please refer to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/search.

Microsoft legacy browsers

Support has been withdrawn for Internet Explorer 11 and legacy Microsoft Edge (non-Chromium version). 1E has taken this decision for new releases that are expected to remain in support by 1E beyond March 2021 when Microsoft Edge goes end of life and August 2021 when Internet Explorer 11 goes end of life. We recommend you use Google Chrome, Firefox or Microsoft Edge Chromium browser.

Certificate limitations - SHA2

Like most software vendors, 1E software requires the OS to support SHA2. If your organization has a PKI configured to use SHA2 256 or higher encryption, then your legacy OS may have already been updated to support it.

  • Windows XP and Server 2003 require an update as described in KB968730. Microsoft no longer provides this hotfix as a download. You must contact Microsoft Support if you need it

  • Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 require an update as described in KB3033929. This update is not available for Vista and Server 2008

  • Windows 8, 8.1, Server 2012, Server 2012 R2 and later OS already support SHA2.

Certificate limitations - encrypted certificate requests

Windows XP and Server 2003 are unable to encrypt certificate requests, whereas later OS are able to support higher more secure RPC authentication levels. If you are using a Microsoft CA and expect these clients to request (enrol) certificates then the CA must have its IF_ENFORCEENCRYPTICERTREQUEST flag disabled. It is disabled by default on Windows 2003 and 2008 CA, but is enabled by default on Windows 2012 CA.

To determine which InterfaceFlags are set, execute the following command on the CA server:

       certutil -getreg CA\InterfaceFlags

If the following is specified then it means the flag is enabled.

    IF_ENFORCEENCRYPTICERTREQUEST -- 200 (512)

To disable the encrypt certificate requests flag, execute the following commands on the CA server:

  certutil -setreg CA\InterfaceFlags -IF_ENFORCEENCRYPTICERTREQUEST
  sc stop certsvc
    sc start certsvc
Certificate limitations - signing certificates missing

On Windows computers, the installation MSI files, and binary executable and DLL files of 1E software are digitally signed. The 1E code signing certificate uses a timestamping certificate as its countersignature. 1E occasionally changes its code signing certificate, and uses it for new releases and patches for older versions, as shown in the table(s) below.

Root Certificate Authorities are implicitly trusted to validate certificates, and their certificates must be correctly installed to do this. Your computers should already have the necessary root CA certificates installed, however this may have been prevented by your organization's security policies, or inability to connect to the Internet, or they are legacy OS. In general this is not an issue because by default Windows allows software to be installed and run without validation, although you may see a warning or experience a delay. However, you must have relevant CA certificates installed if you are using 1E Client (which self-validates its own files), or your organization has applied more secure polices (for example UAC, AppLocker or SmartScreen).

Typical reasons for issues with signing certificate are:

  • If your organization has disabled Automatic Root Certificates Update then you must ensure the relevant root CA certificates are correctly installed on each computer

  • If computers do not have access to the Internet then you must ensure the relevant root and issuing CA certificates are correctly installed on each computer, numbered in the table(s) below.

The signature algorithm of the 1E code signing certificate is SHA256RSA. In most cases, the file digest algorithm of an authenticode signature is SHA256, and the countersignature is a RFC3161 compliant timestamp. The exception is on legacy OS (Windows XP, Vista, Server 2003 and Server 2008) which require the file digest algorithm of an authenticode signature to be SHA1, and a legacy countersignature.

The table below applies to software and hotfixes released in 2020.
