NOTES
  • Virtual machines with a backend component installed cannot be cloned. This would make SES Evolution unstable, and it would then be impossible to uninstall the component.
  • The backend component must not be installed on a domain controller.
Operating systems
  • Windows Server 2016*
  • Windows Server 2019*
  • Windows Server 2022*

The Server Core version of these operating systems is also supported.
Processors for physical machines

At least a dual-core 2 GHz 64-bit processor or the equivalent.

Itanium processors are not supported.

Processors for virtual machines

At least one virtual socket and two 2 GHz cores per socket.
Physical memory At least 2 GB or more if the operating system requires it.
Disk space
