To configure Enterprise Vault in an Exchange Server 2003 environment

1. If the RPC target Exchange Servers are in a clustered environment, ensure that you are familiar with the additional configuration requirements before you install the Enterprise Vault extensions.

2. Check that prerequisite tasks are completed.

   See Prerequisite tasks.

3. On Enterprise Vault servers, configure the server to accept anonymous connections from Exchange RPC target servers (back-end Exchange Server 2003). This step is the same as for OWA access.

   See Configuring Enterprise Vault for anonymous connections.

4. On an Enterprise Vault server, configure RPC over HTTP settings in the Exchange Desktop policy in the Enterprise Vault Administration Console. These settings enable and customize Enterprise Vault functionality in the Enterprise Vault Outlook Add-Ins when Outlook is configured to use RPC over HTTP.

   See Configuring RPC over HTTP settings in Enterprise Vault Exchange Desktop policy.

5. On an Enterprise Vault server, create the EVServers.txt file, and make it available to each RPC target server (back-end Exchange Server 2003)..

   See “To create EVServers.txt”.

6. On each Exchange RPC proxy server, and each Exchange RPC target server, run the installation program to install and automatically configure the Enterprise Vault OWA and RPC Extensions.

   See Installing the Enterprise Vault OWA and RPC Extensions on Exchange Server 2003.
