System requirements
The minimum system requirements for FortiClient EMS are:
- Microsoft Windows Server 2022, 2019, or 2016
- No additional installed services
- 2.0 GHz 64-bit processor, six virtual CPUs (6 vCPU)
- 8 GB RAM (10 GB RAM or more is recommended)
- 40 GB free hard disk
- Gigabit (10/100/1000baseT) Ethernet adapter
-
Internet access is recommended, but optional, during installation. SQL Server may require some dependencies to be downloaded over the Internet. EMS also tries to download information about FortiClient signature updates from FortiGuard.
- For the language to install and time and currency format, select English (United States). For the keyboard or input method, select US.
Considering the ease that virtualization offers, installing EMS and SQL Server(s) on Windows virtual machines (VM) is recommended. You may save VM checkpoints or snapshots before major operating system, application, or configuration changes.
