2.4 System requirement for WinCC Basic
Introduction
Specific requirements for the operating system and software configuration must be met for the
installation.
Note
WinCC is generally authorized for use in a domain or workgroup.
However, be aware that domain group policies and restrictions of the domain may hinder the
installation. If this happens, remove the computer from the domain prior to installing Microsoft
Message Queuing, Microsoft SQL Server and WinCC. Log onto the computer in question
locally with administrative rights. Then perform the installation. After successful installation,
you can enter the WinCC computer back into the domain. If the domain group policies and
restrictions of the domain do not impede the installation, the computer need not be removed
from the domain during the installation.
Be aware that domain group policies and restrictions of the domain may also hinder operation.
If you cannot avoid these restrictions, run the WinCC computer in a workgroup.
Consult with the domain administrator if needed.

Installing updates and support packages 9
9.1 Checking availability of updates and support packages and installing
them
By default, the TIA Portal checks automatically if new software updates or support packages
are available, for example, Hardware Support Packages (HSPs). The automatic search for
updates takes place after each computer restart and then cyclically every 24 hours. You can
also deactivate the automatic search at any time or reactivate it. You can also search for
updates manually.
If updates are found, you can download and install them.
Note
Updates and support packages from TIA Portal V13 or higher are supported.

9.3 Configuring a company-internal server for updates
Server options
In the dialog "TIA Automation Software Update Server", click "Settings" to determine the
following:
1. Under "Server path", specify the folder in which the downloads are to be saved. You can
select either a local drive or a network drive.
Note
When you work directly on the server, the target directory is a equivalent to the provision
directory on the server. All changes are applied directly. This procedure is not
recommended, as conflicts can occur with active downloads.
We recommend that you work on another computer; the target directory can be any
directory. The content of this directory must then still be copied to the provision directory.
Here, also, make sure that no conflicts occur with active downloads.
2. Select the check box "Always run server in background (icon is shown in the taskbar)", if
the server is to always run in the background.
3. Confirm your entries with "OK".
Introduction
To provide available updates and support packages to users from a central location, you must
configure a company-internal server. Use the Microsoft Server Manager to do this. The
procedure for creating and configuring the server with the Microsoft Server 2008 R2 operating
system is described below.
Note
Please note that the structure of the start menu and the storage location of the programs may
vary depending on the different operating systems.
For more detailed information on operating the Server Manager, refer to the Microsoft help.
Requirement
You must have administrator rights.

Installing and uninstalling the multiuser server 11
11.1 Notes on the installation of the multiuser server
Introduction
Installation of the multiuser server gives you access to the Multiuser Engineering functionality
that is available with TIA Portal V14.
You can install the multiuser server as follows:
● Together with the installation of the TIA Portal.
● As standalone installation by means of a separate installation process without TIA Portal.
Note
Administrator rights are required for the server installation.
Installation
Programming and Operating Manual, 04/2017 51
Installing and uninstalling the multiuser server
11.2 Installing the multiuser server
For example, if you have installed STEP 7 Professional, WinCC Advanced and Safety as well
as the multiuser server with version V14.0, all other Team Engineering participants must also
have installed this software in identical versions.
The service packs and updates must be installed for all products at the same time.
Installation path
Do not use any UNICODE characters (for example, Chinese characters) in the installation path.
Antivirus programs
During the installation, read and write access to installed files is necessary. Some antivirus
programs block this access. We therefore recommend that you disable antivirus programs
during the installation of the multiuser server and enable them again afterwards.
Introduction
The multiuser server V14 can be installed as part of the TIA Portal V14 installation or as
standalone product.
A description of automated installation is also available on the product DVD in the directory
"Documents\Readme\<language directory>".
Installation rules
Multiple versions of the multiuser server can be installed on a computer, but only one version
of the multiuser server can be run with the corresponding version of the TIA Portal.
Example: The multiuser server V14.0 can only be run with TIA Portal V14.0.
