Installing DTS on Windows

Server 2012 Preparation

Note: Percussion has certified Microsoft Server 2012 R2 as of our 4.3 release.  Server 2012 is much more restrictive by default, so ensure that you take the following steps before installing the Percussion DTS.

1. Set all users to have read/write permissions to the drive where the product will be installed
2. Open up ports in the Windows firewall to allow access over TCP
3. 1. On the Start menu, click Run, type WF.msc, and then click OK.
   2. In the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security, in the left pane, right-click Inbound Rules, and then click New Rule in the action pane (upper right corner).
   3. In the Rule Type dialog box, select Port, and then click Next. In the Protocol and Ports dialog box, select TCP.
   4. Select Specific local ports, and then type the port number (e.g. 9992, 9980, 9443). Click Next.
   5. In the Action dialog box, select Allow the connection, and then click Next.
   6. In the Profile dialog box, I am going to Leave Domain turned on and turn private and public off. Then click Next.
   7. In the Name dialog box, type a name, e.g. "Allow CM1 ports Inbound”
   8. Click Finish
