1.3 Storage

• A Windows 2008 2012 R2 Server or Server or a Windows 2012 R2 2016 Server
• Shared UNC / CIFS storage area (From now on referred to with the variable #assetstorage#Without this, the batch server will not be able to access the backend files)
• Minimum 16GB 16 GB hard disk space
• Minimum 7GB 7 GB RAM memory
• Typically you place this on the web server, if you do not have a dedicated storage area already. It's imperative that you share this folder as defined in step 1.6.
• Best practice is to place the folder directly on the drive (e.g.

• C:, D: and so on) and name it "Storage"
  

1.4 Batch server

• A Windows 2008 2012 R2 Server or Server or a Windows 2012 R2 2016 Server

1.5 Client

We will make an effort to ensure compatibility with modern browser behavior, but can only guarantee full support for the following browsers and versions:

• Windows
  • Microsoft Internet Explorer (11.1198.14393.0)
  • Mozilla Firefox (53.0.2)
  • Google Chrome (58.0.3029.110 (64-bit))
• Mac OS
  • Google Chrome (58.0.3029.110 (64-bit))

1.6 Domain users

• For the Digizuite™ DAM Center to function correctly, you need to create two users: "assetstream" and "digibatch". Both users' passwords must never expire.
• It is recommended to create them as domain users, however this is not a necessity. If you do not create a them as domain users, you have to create the users with the same passwords across all servers.
• Their usernames must not include characters that break XML syntax (i.e. ",',<,>,&).

• Storage stream user (Installer defaults to username assetstream)
  • Read file/share access to everything on storage
  • Write file/share rights to the folders (exists after completion of the installation):
    • Example: #assetstorage#\DMM\Upload
    • Example: #assetstorage#\DMM\FtpUpload
• System user (Installer defaults to username "digibatch")
  • Full file/share access to the storage 
    • Example: #assetstorage#
  • Must be able to start Windows services on the WEB server and the BATCH server
  • Must be a part of the group: "Performance Monitor Users"
  • Must be local administrator

• In step 1.3 you've created a folder that you'll use for storage. This folder you give the digibatch user complete read/write access to, and the assetstream user you only give complete read access to (you will need to extend the assetstream user rights later in the process - ref. the next point).
• After the installation, you have to go back to this folder, and give the assetstream user write access to the following folders:
  • ...\DMM\Upload
  • ...\DMM\FtpUpload
• After this you must add the following groups to the digibatch user:
  
  • Administrators (Without it the installer may very likely fail)
  • Performance Monitor Users (Without it the installer will not fail, but certain asset conversion jobs will)

  • (Optional) Remote Desktop Users (so you can login with the digibatch user)
    
    

    Info
    To add the users to groups, do the following steps 1. Open the program Computer Management 2. Expand Local Users and Groups and select Groups. 3. Right click the groups and press Properties 4. Press Add, and type in the username digibatch 5. Press Check Names and then OK, and OK again 6. Repeat for the other group as well.

    
    

1.7 DNS lookup

• Example:  digizuitedc.mycompany.com
