Problem: Need specifications for webNetwork installation and how it effects current Active Directory environment.
Prerequisite(s):
- Specifications based on webNetwork 6.3.0.199
- Specifications based on Active Directory 2012 R2 server (2012 domain)
- Already familiar with webNetwork schema extensions
Solution(s): Because the database engine consumes space only for attributes for which values are set, the number of object attributes that have values makes a significant difference in the size of an object.
General Information:
- webNetwork base installation increases NTDS about 4 MB
- webNetwork base installation has no impact on SYSVOL
- 1 Attribute (10 bytes) = 100 Bytes on User object
- Currently there are 6 mandatory attributes at login time (swareCookies, swareFlags, swareGUID, swareIPAddresses, swareLastLogin, swareVisits)
Sample Minimum Calculations:
- 6 attributes * 100 bytes = 600 bytes additional storage per User object
- 600 bytes * 2,000 users = 1.2 MB increase
- 600 bytes * 20,000 users = 12 MB increase
- 600 bytes * 200,000 users = 120 MB increase
Sample Larger Installation Calculations (installation running since early 2000 with variety of features):
- About 200 swareXXX attributes per user
- 200 bytes * 100 bytes = 20,000 bytes additional storage per User object
- 20,000 bytes * 2,000 users = 40 MB
- 20,000 bytes * 20,000 users = 400 MB
- 20,000 bytes * 200,000 users = 4 GB
IMPORTANT - data can vary greatly based on features used in webNetwork and data stored in attributes. Please use the above as general estimates.
