   The Configuration wizard starts. The first screen asks whether you want to create a new Enterprise Vault Directory database.

2. Click Yes and then Next.

   The wizard asks you to select the language you want Enterprise Vault to use when populating the default settings in the Administration Console.

3. Select the required language and then Next.

   The wizard asks for details of an account for Enterprise Vault services to use.

4. Enter the details of the Vault Service account that you created earlier.

   You must use the format domain_name\username when you specify the account. Alternatively, browse for the Vault Service account.

   Enter the password for the Vault Service account and confirm it.

   A warning message is displayed if the account you are using does not have sufficient privileges to validate the password to the Vault Service account. Click Yes to continue.

   A message tells you that the Vault Service account has been added to the local Administrators group. Click OK to close the message.

   A second message notifies you that the account will be given the advanced user rights, Log On As a Service and Act as Part of the Operating System, Debug programs, and Replace a process-level token. Click OK to close the message.

   The configuration wizard creates the Directory service and then the next screen asks for the location of the SQL Server that you want to use for the Directory database.

6. Enter the location of the SQL Server that you want to use. Alternatively, click Browse to browse for the SQL Server. You can specify a SQL Server instance if required.

7. Click Next.

   The wizard shows the default locations for the Directory database files and transaction log.

8. Change the locations if necessary.

   If you have specified that SQL Server is on a remote computer, the paths for the data file and transaction log file must be valid on that remote computer.

9. Click Next.

   The wizard creates the Directory database. The next screen asks for the location of the SQL Server that you want to use for the Monitoring database.

10. Enter the location of the SQL Server that you want to use. You can specify a SQL Server instance if required.

11. Click Next.

    The next screen shows default locations on the SQL server for the Monitoring database files and transaction log.

    If you have specified that SQL Server is on a remote computer, the paths for the data file and transaction log file must be valid on that remote computer.

    Do not specify paths that are on the root of a file system, such as C: or C:\.

    The wizard creates the Monitoring database.

    The next screen asks for details of the new Enterprise Vault site.

14. Enter a name and description for the new Enterprise Vault site.

15. Click Next.

    The next screen asks for a DNS alias for current computer.

    The value you enter must be an unqualified DNS alias for this computer, for example, "evserver1". A fully-qualified DNS name (for example, "evserver1.mycompany.local") is not permitted.

    If this is the first computer added to the site, the DNS alias entered will automatically be used as the vault site alias.

16. Enter a DNS alias for the current computer and click Next.

17. Click Next to add the computer to the Enterprise Vault site.

    An information screen lists software that is installed on your computer. Based on this list, the wizard automatically selects Enterprise Vault services to add to your computer.

18. Click Next. The list shows the services that will be added to your computer.

19. Check the list of services. You can add or remove services as required, as follows:

    • Just close this wizard. Choose this option to close the Configuration Wizard. You can then use the Enterprise Vault Start menu options to run the Enterprise Vault Getting Started Wizard or the Administration Console.

23. Click Finish to exit from the configuration wizard.
