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
