Following pre-requisites have to be in place before deployment.
Pre-requisites – Systrack Master Server
- Static IP or an DNS reservation.
- Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.1
- Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 (x86) Redistributable
- Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 (x64) Redistributable
- Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Native Client
Pre-requisites – Systrack Web Services
- Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.1
- Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 (x64)
- Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 (x64) Redistributable
- Microsoft URL Rewrite Module 2.0 for IIS7 (x64)

Pre-requisites – Systrack Administrative Tools
- Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.1
- IE 6.0 or above
Pre-requisites – Systrack Administrative Tools
- Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 (x86) Redistributable
- Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 (x64) Redistributable
Pre-requisites – Systrack Database Preparation
- Database Hardware should be configured and communicating on the network.
- As a best practice we recommend you only use the included SQL Express for SysTrack installations that have fewer than 1500 non-load balanced users. If the database load becomes too great, you may have to switch to a different edition of SQL Server in the future.
Pre-requisites – Systrack Anti-Virus Exclusions
- File and Print Sharing should be enabled on the target child systems along with Remote Registry Service.
- The Windows client firewall should be disabled for the deployment or an exception created to allow traffic on port 57632. If there is a network firewall, IP addresses need to be routable and allow TCP and UDP traffic on port 57632.
- Open Reporting Services Configuration Manager > Report Manager URL > Click on the URL. In the top right, click Site Settings > Security and add the newly created user, with the System Administrator role.
- Click on Home and select Folder Settings. Add the newly created user and give it all of the roles. Save the changes.
- Within SSRS browse to the Server > Analyze Reports > DataSources > Click on the datasource > Enter the new credentials and verify the test is successful
- Within the Deployment Tool click the … next to the Database name and enter the new credentials in the Reporting tab. Verify the test passes.
- You should now be able to execute reports
- Download the Systrack software and Extract the content.
