3rd party application on cisco TMS OS (windows 2012 for exemple)

[ymjendel2013]

Hello, 

Is there any recommendation regarding installing 3rd party application (like ftp, sftp, syslog...) on the windows OS for cisco TMS server ? 

I belive such installion is to avoid but I could not find anything in cisco documentation .. any idea ?

Regards

You might could get away with installing third-party applications on the same server as TMS, but it's not recommended, and most likely might be asked to remove them by TAC.  For small deployments, all TMS applications (TMS, TMSPE, TMSXE, and SQL) can be co-resident on the same server, however large deployments require TMSXE and SQL each on their own dedicated servers.
