A workstation class machine with at least a 1ghz processor, 512 meg of ram and a 20gig hard drive is adequate for most schools up to 3a. We might want something more for 4a+ schools.
You will need a Windows 2000 or 2003 server (even if it is a workstation class machine) and Microsoft SQL database and 5 client licenses.
Below is a general guideline if you were to set up a new computer for this:
1) Install Windows 2000 or 2003 SERVER (Make sure to assign this server a fixed IP address)
2) Install IIS
3) Install SQL server 2000
4) Install SQL service pack 4.0
5) Go to Windows update and do all critical patches
6) Go to Windows update and do .Net install
Information that you will need to provide:
Email server, user name and password for the system that will relay email for this IP address
LDAP server and paths (if applicable). You can test these by opening a browser and type LDAP://YourLDAPserver/YourLDAPpath
Your school's logo saved as logo.gif that will be the banner for the home page.
We can remotely assist you with the items below:
7) Run C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\aspnet_regiis.exe –i
8) Setup SQL daily maintenance jobs
9) Turn on SQL agent to auto-start
10) Restore starter Database
11) Run DisLog.Patcher
14) Set configurations: We can customize it for data fields to use, colors and logos to suit your taste and requirements. We can import your Windows Active Directory Services or Novell’s eDirectory users list or you can manually maintain the user base if desired.
Once the installation is complete, any machine in your district that has a browser (Internet Explorer or FireFox) can access the DisLog software.
