Endpoint Insights System Requirements

Prerequisites for implementing Endpoint Insights:

  • SQL Server Reporting Services (supported versions) and/or Power BI Report Server (September 2022 version or later)
  • Reporting Services Point enabled and configured in your Configuration Manager environment

To collect warranty data with Endpoint Insights:

  • Recast Management Server installed with Recast Proxy on a system that meets RMS requirements
  • Recast Proxy configured for Recast management tasks
    • The service account requires read-only access in Configuration Manager and datareader access to your ConfigMgr SQL database server. 
    • If your Recast Management Server is installed on a server other than your ConfigMgr SQL database, the proxy account must be added to the SMS_SiteSystemToSiteServerConnection_MP_(YourSiteCode) local group on that server. This will allow it to read and write to your inboxes\auth\ddm.box to gather warranty data.
  • One-way traffic from the Recast Management Server to the API over TCP 443 with https://warranty.recastsoftware.com/ 
    • Allowing this traffic through the firewall lets the proxy account communicate with our API. 
    • Only the Recast Management Server can initiate the network connection. The source and destination servers can then communicate over the established network connection.
