Decisions and information required

Gather the following information before beginning the installation:

• Server name and Windows login details for the FastStats Server
• Email server, Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (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, since you'll be adding tables. Decide on the Orbit database name; consider OB_Global as a default for shared environments.
• Orbit, configuration, and Web Service database names, and the FastStats user details for SQL Server
