Windows OS and Server configuration

Each version of Power Operation is tested against latest Microsoft Windows OS patches up until the date of each software version's release.

Apply Windows patches to the operating system hosting the Power Operation installation. When applying Windows patches do so periodically and verify proper functioning of the Power SCADA server immediately after patch installation. With redundant Power SCADA servers update one server at time; if a Windows patch causes the Power SCADA server to function improperly the redundant server will maintain monitoring and control of the system until the problem is resolved.

For instructions about Windows services or SQL server, see the Power Monitoring Expert – IT Guide.
