How to add your knowledge
Table of contents
No headersEach machine on which Revit Server is to be installed must meet the following requirements:
NoteRevit Server performance in a virtual environment such as VMWare needs careful tuning to avoid significant performance issues, and you should allow for additional overhead beyond the basic requirements listed here. It is recommended that you compare the performance of your virtual environment versus a physical environment. Test the network throughput and latency of your virtual environment versus your physical hardware and adjust accordingly for best performance.
Important If you plan to use remote storage for Revit Server data, you must first set up a domain user account with the name RevitServerService (and make sure the machine hosting Revit Server does not have a local account with that same name) and give that account full access to the folder under which Revit Server data will be remotely stored. The account must be a member of the Administrators group, and the password should be set to not expire, because if it changes you will have to update the application pool settings for all instances of Revit Server that use remote storage. During the install you will need to provide the path to the storage folder and enter this password.
