Overview<\/h2>\n

This document contains the minimum client hardware requirements, server
\nrecommendations and Terminal Server minimum hardware requirements supported
\nby the Microsoft Dynamics GP Technical Support Team. The following server
\nrecommendations are not minimum server requirements. The requirements and
\nrecommendations are based on experience with many different installations.\u00a0Users
\nmay need to increase these requirements due to environmental factors to achieve
\nindividual performance expectations.<\/p>\n

Review each Customer Profile below to determine what profile best fits the user
\ncount, modules used and transaction volume for your environment. Use that
\nCustomer Profile as a recommendation for your server hardware implementation.<\/p>\n

\n1. A 32-bit ODBC DSN is required for Microsoft Dynamics GP 2018 on a 32-bit and
\nx64 machine.\u00a0 Refer to\u00a0KnowledgeBase Article 870416\u00a0for the steps to setup a 32-bit
\nODBC DSN on an x64 machine.2. When you deploy a system in a virtual environment, make sure that you have
\nsufficient hard disk space to avoid performance problems. Each computer that
\nyou deploy in a virtual environment should meet or exceed the random access
\nmemory (RAM) requirements and the hard disk space requirements. For more

NOTES<\/strong>
\n1. It is recommended to have a dedicated Terminal Server\/Citrix Server. There may
\nbe performance losses if Microsoft SQL Server is running on the Terminal Server\/
\nCitrix Server. Therefore, it is highly recommended to have two separate servers.
\nOne server with Terminal Server and\/or Citrix and one server with Microsoft SQL
\nServer.
\n2. If using Adobe, Adobe must be installed at the Terminal Server.
\n3. If using Lync for Unified Communications, a remote app for Lync must also be configured and copied to the client along with the Microsoft Dynamics GP remote app.\u00a0 The Lync remote app must be launched first and then the Microsoft Dynamics GP remote app.
\n4. If accessing Citrix, the hardware and software must be supported according to the Citrix configuration requirements.
\n5. Verify processors can be upgraded.
\n6. The amount of RAM needed depends on the number of concurrent users per
\nTerminal Server.
\n7. Verify switch is capable of handling network traffic.
\n8. Increased user count may require greater RAM and Processor speed.
\n9. Users utilizing Management Reporter or Crystal reporting via Terminal Services
\nmay require increased hardware to increase performance.
\n10. When you deploy a system in a virtual environment, make sure that you have
\nsufficient hard disk space to avoid performance problems. Each computer that you
\ndeploy in a virtual environment should meet or exceed the random access memory
\n(RAM) requirements and the hard disk space requirements. For more information,
