Installing MSMQ

Enterprise Vault tasks use MSMQ to communicate with the Storage service. If you want to install Enterprise Vault services on more than one computer in the network, you must configure MSMQ on each computer.

The steps for installing MSMQ on Windows 2003 and 2008 are different. Follow the instructions below for your operating system.

Note that Active Directory Integration should not be enabled when installing MSMQ.

To install MSMQ on Windows Server 2003

  1. In the Windows Control Panel, double-click Add/Remove Programs.

  2. Click Add/Remove Windows Components. The Windows Components wizard starts.

  3. Select Application Server and then click Details to open the Application Server window.

  4. Check Message Queuing, and then click Details to display the Message Queuing dialog box.

  5. As installing MSMQ with Active Directory Integration affects the performance of Enterprise Vault, you are strongly recommended to uncheck Active Directory Integration in the Message Queuing dialog box.

  6. Click OK twice to return to the Windows Components wizard.

  7. Follow the remaining instructions in the wizard.

To install MSMQ on Windows Server 2008

  1. Start Server Manager.

  2. Click Features in the left pane.

  3. Click Add Features in the right pane.

  4. When the Add Features wizard starts, click Message Queuing, and then click Next.

    The only MSMQ feature that Enterprise Vault requires is Message Queuing Server.

  5. Click Install.

  6. Follow the remaining instructions in the wizard.
