The prerequisite software and settings for the SharePoint Servers to be archived are as follows:

• The version of Microsoft SharePoint products must be at least one of the following:

  • Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 with Service Pack 1

  • Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2003 with Service Pack 1

  • Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (WSS 3.0)

  • Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS 2007)

• Ensure that the Vault Service account is either a member of the SharePoint administration group for the SharePoint virtual servers or has local administrator privileges on the SharePoint computer.

• The account under which the Enterprise Vault SharePoint task runs (typically the Vault Service account) must have full access to target site collections and their content. When archiving from SharePoint 3.0 sites, the account must have Site Collection Administrator privileges on the target SharePoint site collections.

• SharePoint Servers must be running either Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 2 or later, or Windows Server 2008 with Service Pack 1 or later. If Windows Server 2008 with Service Pack 1 is installed, you must also install the following mandatory hotfix for IIS:

  Note that the hotfix that Microsoft provides for Windows Vista is the hotfix to use for Windows Server 2008.

• The Enterprise Vault SharePoint components require the Enterprise Vault SharePoint HttpModule. The Enterprise Vault Setup program automatically installs the Enterprise Vault HttpModule when you choose to install the Enterprise Vault SharePoint component.
