System Requirements for Microsoft Dynamics GP Web Components
Overview
This section contains the server recommendations and client workstation requirements for Microsoft Dynamics GP Web client and Microsoft Dynamics GP Service Based Architecture supported by the Microsoft Dynamics GP Technical Support Team.
Web Client The Microsoft Dynamics GP Web Client provides access to Microsoft Dynamics GP through a web browser. The user experience and functionality provided by the Microsoft Dynamics GP Web Client closely matches the experience of using the Microsoft Dynamics GP desktop client.
No client application software is installed on the user’s local system. The Microsoft Dynamics GP application process for the user is running on a separate server. The web browser on the user's computer presents the application.
Service Based Architecture (SBA) The Microsoft Dynamics GP Service Based Architecture enables REST based integrations to Microsoft Dynamics GP. The functionality existing in dictionaries is exposed as a service call.
The web components software is installed on one or more servers using one of three deployment configurations outlined below and documented in the Web Components Installation and Administration Guide.
SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) The SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) reports that rely on SQL Views as a data source are only supported with English installs of Microsoft Dynamics GP. However, Customers have the option of translating the reports themselves or creating new reports. The report deployment with SQL Reporting Services is supported with the following: SQL Server 2014 Standard or Enterprise Edition SQL Server 2016 Standard or Enterprise Edition
The SQL Reporting Services Reports may be deployed on the SQL Server depending on security and performance concerns.
Power BI with Microsoft Dynamics GP This is only tested/supported with Power BI Pro.

Deployment Configurations
Single Machine: In this configuration, all of the web components are installed on a single server. Scale Out: In this configuration the Web Server and Session Server (Session Host) components are installed on different servers. There can be any number of web and session servers deployed depending on the number or web component users and redundancy needs. Multi-tenant: This configuration is similar to the scale out configuration but is set up for access by multiple customer organizations. The server recommendations remain the same as the scale out configuration for the Web Server and Session Server.
Single Machine Recommendations
| Item | Requirements |
|---|---|
| Operating System | Microsoft Windows Server 2022 - Datacenter Edition (18.5.1556 GP version or later) Microsoft Windows Server 2019 - Datacenter Edition (18.2.1013 GP version or later) Microsoft Windows Server 2016 - Datacenter Edition Microsoft Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2 - Datacenter Edition Enterprise Edition or Standard Edition |
| Processor | 1 Quad core or 2 Dual Core Processors or highter (see note 7) |
| Mimimum Available RAM | 4 GB - Up to 25 concurrent web client users 8 GB - Up to 60 concurrent web client users 16 GB - Up to 120 concurrent web client users (for SBA sizing see note 9) |
| Network Card | 1 GB Ethernet or Fiber |
| Bandwidth Consideration | Planning Average: 25 Mbps(Megabytes/sec) per active Web Client user with spikes up to 250 MBPS per active Wb Client user (see note 5) |
| Internet Information Services (Web Client only) |
IIS 10.0 IIS 8.0 IIS 7.5 IIS 8.5 |
| Other Applications | .Net Framework 4.5.1 +, 4.6 ASP .Net 4.0+ SQL Native Client 10.0 or 11.0 Adobe Reader (Required to read or print manuals) |
| Back Office Server | All deployments require a dedicated Microsoft SQL Server. Refer to the Microsoft Dynamics GP System Requirements. |
| Windows License Guidance | Microsoft Dynamics GP Web Components requires both Microsoft Windows Server and Microsoft SQL Server. Microsoft Windows Server and Microsoft SQL Server – and their corresponding Client Access Licenses (CALs) are not included with Microsoft Dynamics GP. They must be acquired separately in accordance with the applicable licensing requirements for these products. These licenses may be purchased through traditional Microsoft Volume Licensing channels. |
NOTES
- The web server computer name cannot contain an underscore (_).
- English language operating system required.
- Hyper threading can be enabled for the processors.
- When you deploy a system in a virtual environment, make sure that you have sufficient hard disk space to avoid performance problems. Each computer that you deploy in a virtual environment should meet or exceed the random access memory (RAM) requirements and the hard disk space requirements. For more information, click the following article to view the Support policy for Microsoft software running in non-Microsoft hardware virtualization software Microsoft Knowledge Base: 897615.
- Sustained bandwidth utilization will increase with SmartList data exports and printing large Word Template documents (Web Client only).
- Microsoft Dynamics GP Web Components must be installed in a domain environment
- Processor requirements are minimums and will need to increase as number of concurrent web client users increase per machine.
- It is recommended you avoid executing consecutive Service Based Architecture (SBA) Get List requests of 1,000 or more records. This could impact the performance of other SBA requests as well as the performance of the Web Client product if both products are on the same session host machine.
- Refer to the following KB article 3035914 for service based architecture sizing.
