| Pitfall | Solution | | :--- | :--- | | | SolarWinds does not support dynamic disks or storage spaces in some configs. Use basic GPT disks. | | Clock drift | NPM requires NTP sync. More than 5 minutes drift breaks database logging. | | IPv6 disabled | Many polling engines fail if IPv6 is completely disabled (set to "Prefer IPv4" instead). | | Antivirus real-time scanning | Exclude C:\Program Files\SolarWinds , C:\inetpub , and SQL data folders from AV. | | Windows update pending | A pending reboot will cause the installer to fail silently. | Scaling Up: From Free Trial to Production If you decide to purchase a license after your free trial, your system requirements will grow based on the number of elements (nodes, interfaces, volumes).
