Prepare Active Directory and server

Preparations in Active Directory

1. Create a security group named PeopleSync Admins. All administrators needing to access the PeopleSync Console should be added to this group.

2. Create a user named psservice. Make sure that the user’s password does not expire. This user is the service account for the PeopleSync service.

Preparations on SRV-PeopleSync

1. Install SQL Server Express using default values (i.e. instance name SQLExpress). Configure the following during setup:

   • enable mixed mode authentication

   • add the local administrators group to the SQL Server administrators

2. Enable TCP/IP protocol in SQL Server Network Configuration (SQL Server Configuration Manager | SQL Server Network Configuration | Protocols | TCP/IP).
