The server that hosts the ACS collector role has a minimum of 1 GB of RAM, with 2GB
or more recommended, and 10 GB of free space to store the ACS database.
ACS database
The ACS database hosts all of the security event log items forwarded to the ACS collectors by
the ACS forwarders. System Center 2012 Operations Manager SP1 and System Center 2012
R2 Operations Manager support using SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 and later, and SQL Server
2012 and later to host the ACS database. Microsoft recommends using the Enterprise rather
than Standard edition of SQL Server because of the performance requirements involved in
processing traffic from the ACS forwarder.
To install the ACS collector and ACS database role, perform the following steps:
1.
On the Operations Manager installation screen, shown in Figure 3-42, click Audit Col-
lection Services in the list of Optional Installations. This will start the Audit Collection
