I have extensive experience with Thingworx and have recently started working with Windchill. I'd like to create a Windows 11 virtual machine (preferably with Virtual Box) onto which I can load a functional Windchill configuration. Would it be possible to install Windchill without using LDAP, or is it necessary? Can anyone give me some guidance or point me to practical documents?

Thanks

Dimitri.

Sorry, but I saw that it's possible to download the Windows 13.1.2 wmvare virtual machine via FileZilla, but I can't. I get an error. Does anyone have any useful information for downloading this VM?
Thanks

HI,
What error are you getting?

You may need to change the hardware compatibility.

Hi @dbologna,

You need to have DS installed.

Thanks for your feedback. Sorry, but I don't understand what you mean by 'DS installed’.

Thanks

Directory Server (DS) is used to store user and group information, and Windchill requires a Directory Server for installation.
Just to confirm, when you say without using LDAP, do you mean installing Windchill without a Directory Server?
