To install Enterprise Vault

1. Log in to the Vault Service account to install Enterprise Vault.

2. Load the Enterprise Vault media.

3. Open the Symantec Enterprise Vault 8.0 SPn folder.

4. Double-click the ReadMeFirst file to display the ReadMe text and read it before continuing with the installation.

5. Open the Server folder.

6. Double-click SETUP.EXE to start the installation.

7. Install the required Enterprise Vault components for this computer.

   The core components for an Enterprise Vault server are as follows:

   • Enterprise Vault Services.

     Installs all the core Enterprise Vault services. After the installation, you must configure the services before using them. This is done when you run the Enterprise Vault configuration wizard.

   • Administration Console.

     Installs the Administration Console. This is a snap-in to the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) that enables you to manage Enterprise Vault. This component also installs the Enterprise Vault configuration wizard, and the PST Migrator and NSF Migrator wizards.

     If you want to install a standalone Administration Console on a remote system, then select this component only.

   A number of other components can be installed as required, if their prerequisites are met. Some of these components are listed only if certain software is present:

   • SMTP Archiving Components, Exchange Server Extensions, and Microsoft SharePoint components are usually installed on computers other than the Enterprise Vault server. For details, see the appropriate section elsewhere in this manual.

   • The Enterprise Vault Operations Manager component is a Web application that enables you to monitor Enterprise Vault servers remotely from a computer with Internet Explorer 6.0 or later.

     Enterprise Vault Operations Manager must be installed on at least one Enterprise Vault server in a site if you want to monitor the Enterprise Vault servers in that site.

   • The Enterprise Vault Reporting component provides enterprise-level reporting for Enterprise Vault servers, using Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services as the reporting mechanism. Administrators manage report content and view reports using the Reporting Services Report Manager Web application.

     Enterprise Vault Reporting is required if you want to use FSA Reporting.

     Enterprise Vault Reporting is listed for selection only if Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) is installed on the computer.

     Enterprise Vault Reporting can be installed on an Enterprise Vault server, but is more typically installed on a separate server that is running SSRS. For more information about installing and configuring Enterprise Vault Reporting, see the Reporting guide.

8. If Lotus Domino is installed, the installation lists the Domino partitions that are available. The installation installs the Enterprise Vault Domino Gateway software in each partition that you added to the Selected Partitions list.

   To add a partition to the Selected Partitions list:

   • Click the partition name.

   • Click Add.

   The installation also removes the Enterprise Vault Domino Gateway software from each partition that is in the Domino Server Partitions list.

9. Setup automatically scans the computer to determine whether it meets the Enterprise Vault prerequisites and generates a report. If the computer does not meet all the requirements Setup gives you the option to view a report of the findings.

10. Setup checks that the computer is configured to use Enterprise Vault best practice settings.

11. At the end of installation, you may be instructed to restart your computer. The installation continues after you have restarted the computer. There is a confirmation message that informs you that the installation is complete.
