The CMS supports Microsoft

International Server - French,
German, Spanish, and
Japanese (latest service pack
available for each language).
The required Windows service packs must be installed for each of these operating systems.
Important: The Windows server must have at least one partition formatted for the NT File System (NTFS) on
which the HP SIM server software is to be installed. NTFS provides the ability to restrict file access based
on user accounts and groups. Without NTFS, the CMS cannot be adequately secured against unauthorized
access, and potentially sensitive operations and data could be made available to unauthorized users.
Note: HP SIM on Windows XP Professional only supports a local MSDE2000 installation for the database.
Note:SQL Server 2005 is only supported if HP SIM is running on Windows Server 2003.
Note:You cannot run Internet Explorer 6.0 and Internet Explorer 7.0 simultaneously. However, if you uninstall
Internet Explorer 7.0, Internet Explorer 6.0 will be restored.
