Policy Engine Host Machines

The following are requirements for policy engine host machines:

Operating System

Policy engines are included in the server.msi and server_x64.msi installation packages.

Server.msi supports 32-bit versions of these operating systems:

Server_x64.msi supports 64-bit versions of these operating systems:

Windows Server 2003 (see note 1)
Windows Server 2008 (see note 1)
Windows Server 2008 R2
Windows Server 2012
Note 1: We have not tested these operating systems with the current versions of server.msi and server_x64.msi.

Disk space

The host machine needs sufficient memory to cache all ‘effective’ user policies.

CA DataMinder server

The host machine must be the CMS or a gateway server.

For best performance, we recommend a gateway.

PE domain user

The PE domain user must belong to the local Administrators group on the policy engine host machine.
