Decisions and information required

Gather the following information before beginning the installation:

• Server name and Windows login details for the FastStats Server
• Email server, SMTP, port, username, and login details for email services
• Server name and Windows login details for the SQL Server
• Admin login details for SQL Server (you will be adding tables)—decide on the Orbit database name; OB_Global is recommended as a default for shared environments
• Orbit, Config, and Web Service database names, and the FastStats user details for SQL Server
