EML file holding area and Enterprise Vault server requirements

Enterprise Vault uses File System Archiving (FSA) to archive the files from the EML file holding area. This means that:

The holding area computer must satisfy the FSA prerequisites for a file server.
The Enterprise Vault server must satisfy the prerequisites for FSA.

You do not need to install Outlook on the Enterprise Vault server unless you are also implementing Exchange Server archiving.

Internet Explorer 6.0 or later is required on the computer that hosts the Enterprise Vault Storage Service; typically this is the Enterprise Vault server computer.
