Employee Portal System Requirements

To use Employee Portal, you need:

• SQL Server with HRPro database installed on the network and is accessible by Employee Portal Server

• Operating system and software: A 32-bit/64-bit version of Microsoft® Windows® Server™ 2008 Standard or Enterprise Edition or later. 

• Browser Supported: The two latest, released versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari with JavaScript enabled

• Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2  or above (should be supplied by Windows Server 2019 or above)

• For Email Integration: To send an email, you need an SMTP server. If you have the ability to send Internet emails, you probably already have one of these somewhere. 

• Server Hardware: Most modern Intel servers will be fine. We recommend 2 GB of memory for optimal performance. Do not run WebLeave on a server which is also running large enterprise applications such as Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft Sharepoint.

• Running IIS on a domain controller is not recommended.

• If Employee Portal is opened to the Internet, proper network infrastructure and security control are required.

Recommendation of an all-in-one (application server + database server + web server) server:

• CPU of i3/5/7 or Xeon, 16GB RAM, 100GB Hard Disk space, preferably with 2 hard disks in RAID-1 (disk mirroring) setting. 

• Windows Server License Required: Windows Server of latest or 2nd latest version (64-bit) 

• Database Server License Required: No (just the free Microsoft SQL Server Express or Standard Edition of latest or 2nd latest version)

Recommendation for 3 separate servers if budget allows for best performance as shown in HRPro Network Diagram
