This document contains the minimum client hardware requirements, server
recommendations and Terminal Server minimum hardware requirements supported
by the Microsoft Dynamics GP Technical Support Team. The following server
recommendations are not minimum server requirements. The requirements and
recommendations are based on experience with many different installations. Users
may need to increase these requirements due to environmental factors to achieve
individual performance expectations.
Review each Customer Profile below to determine what profile best fits the user
count, modules used and transaction volume for your environment. Use that
Customer Profile as a recommendation for your server hardware implementation.

NOTES
1. It is recommended to have a dedicated Terminal Server/Citrix Server. There may
be performance losses if Microsoft SQL Server is running on the Terminal Server/
Citrix Server. Therefore, it is highly recommended to have two separate servers.
One server with Terminal Server and/or Citrix and one server with Microsoft SQL
Server.
2. If using Adobe, Adobe must be installed at the Terminal Server.
3. If using Lync for Unified Communications, a remote app for Lync must also be configured and copied to
the client along with the Microsoft Dynamics GP remote app. The Lync remote app must be launched first
and then the Microsoft Dynamics GP remote app.
4. If accessing Citrix, the hardware and software must be supported according to the Citrix configuration
requirements.
6. The amount of RAM needed depends on the number of concurrent users per Terminal Server.
8. Increased user count may require greater RAM and Processor speed.
9. Users utilizing Management Reporter or Crystal reporting via Terminal Services
may require increased hardware to increase performance.

in non-Microsoft hardware virtualization software.

Additional Information
1. This document represents configurations tested by Microsoft Business Solutions and supported
by Microsoft Dynamics GP Technical Support. Use of technologies not specified in this
document is not recommended and will not be supported. Testing is ongoing, and as newer
technologies become supported this list will be updated.
2. To review an article regarding support in a virtual environment.
The following virtual products have been tested: Microsoft Windows Server 2019 Hyper-V,
Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Hyper-V, Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V, Microsoft
Application Virtualization 4.6. For additional Virtual Technology Support, click the link below to
review the Virtualization Support Policy Wizard.
3. The Microsoft Dynamics GP core application is supported in a peer to peer (workgroup)
environment. This environment excludes all web applications such as Web Services, eConnect,
and Management Reporter. This also excludes Workflow 2.0 as a domain is required. If web
applications are used, a domain is required.
4. Remote access for Microsoft Dynamics GP is not supported in a WAN or P2P environment due
to the possibility of connection and data consistency errors. The only supported options are to
either a) Have Microsoft Dynamics GP installed on a Remote Desktop Services machine (with or
without Citrix) in the same network as the SQL Server hosting your Dynamics GP databases b)
Deploy the Dynamics GP Web Client for extranet access and allow users to log in from remote
browsers.
5. Microsoft Dynamics GP is supported in a Windows Azure server environment. For more detail,
refer to Microsoft Dynamics GP on Microsoft Azure
6. Here is a cheat sheet for SQL versions and what is supported per Dynamics GP version:
• GP 2013 supports SQL 2014, 2012 and 2008

• GP 2015 supports SQL 2014 and 2012
• GP 18.2 and later supports SQL 2019 plus SQL 2017, 2016 and 2014
• GP 18.5 (October 2022 Release) supports SQL 2022, 2019, 2017 and 2016

NOTE: Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) is not supported on Windows Server 2019, see BLOG for details.
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 similar to Dynamics GP
system requirements.
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.
***Information around PCI Compliance and Microsoft Dynamics GP with TLS 1.0***
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.

nce 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
1. The web server computer name cannot contain an underscore (_).
2. English language operating system required.
3. Hyper threading can be enabled for the processors.
4. 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.
5. Sustained bandwidth utilization will increase with SmartList data exports and printing large
Word Template documents (Web Client only).
6. Microsoft Dynamics GP Web Components must be installed in a domain environment
7. Processor requirements are minimums and will need to increase as number of concurrent web
client users increase per machine.
8. 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.
