Preparing proxy bypass list entries for OWA 2000 and OWA 2003 Extensions

Before installing the Enterprise Vault OWA 2000 or 2003 Extensions on the Exchange Servers, you need to create the file EVServers.txt. This file provides the installation program with the entries to add to the proxy bypass list. You create the file on an Enterprise Vault server using the script, MakeEVServersTxt.wsf, and then make it available to the Exchange Server administrator who installs the Enterprise Vault OWA Extensions.

To create EVServers.txt

  1. Log on to any Enterprise Vault server, using an account that has any Enterprise Vault administrator permissions.

  2. Start Windows Explorer and navigate to the Enterprise Vault installation folder (normally C:\Program Files\Enterprise Vault). Open the appropriate OWA Extensions subfolder for the Extensions that you want to install: OWA 2003 Extensions subfolder or OWA 2000 Extensions subfolder.

  3. Double-click MakeEVServersTxt.wsf.

    This script creates the file, EVServers.txt, and populates it with the entries that the installation program will add to the proxy bypass list.

  4. If you are installing the OWA Extensions remotely using, for example, Active Directory, then copy the EVServers.txt file to the file share containing the installation files.

    If you are installing the OWA Extensions interactively on each server, then copy EVServers.txt to each Exchange Server 2003 and Exchange 2000 back-end server.
