Software Requirements for the Installation

Introduction
Certain requirements concerning operating system and software configuration must be met
for the installation.
Note
WinCC is enabled for operation within a domain or workgroup.
Note however that domain group policies and restrictions in the domains may prevent
installation. In this case, remove the computer from the domain before installing Microsoft
Message Queuing, Microsoft SQL Server and WinCC. Log on to the computer concerned
locally with administrator rights. Carry out the installation. Following successful installation, the
WinCC computer can be registered in the domain again. If the domain-group policies and
domain restrictions do not impair the installation, the computer must not be removed from the
domain during installation.
Note however that domain group policies and restrictions in the domain may also hinder
operation. If these restrictions cannot be overcome, operate the WinCC computer in a work
group. If necessary, contact the domain administrator.
