CMS 10.1 and Below

  • Windows Server 2008 R2, 2012, 2012 R2, 2016, or 2019 (Use 64-bit format for all Windows Server versions.).
    • Support for Windows Server 2003 and 32-bit editions of Windows Server 2008 have ended. If you need assistance, please contact Ingeniux Support.
    • Virtualization is supported.
    • Windows 7, 8.x, and 10 64-bit Pro or Enterprise supported for test/development/trial purposes.
  • Microsoft IIS, including default configurations of Roles /Feature, as well as the following additional settings:

    • Internet Information Services > Development > ASP.NET.
    • Internet Information Services > Security > Windows Authentication.
  • Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.x.
  • Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.x.
    • If IIS was not installed before .NET Framework 4.5.x then after installation of IIS, ASP.NET may need to be registered via a Windows Administrator command line.
