Ensure that you have completed the required steps before installing the Enterprise Vault Extensions.
See Configuring Exchange Server 2003 RPC over HTTP client access to Enterprise Vault.
Before you run the
Enterprise Vault Extensions installation program on the Exchange
Server, you create an EVServers.txt
file on an Enterprise Vault server, as described in this section.
and then copy the file to the same folder as the MSI installation
file. The Exchange Server administrator who installs the Enterprise
Vault Extensions must have access to both files.
You run the Enterprise Vault Extensions installation program on the RPC proxy servers first, and then on the RPC target servers.
The instructions that are
given in this section describe a typical, interactive installation,
which you initiate by double-clicking the .msi
file. Alternatively, you can deploy the
Enterprise Vault Extensions silently using an MSI command line, or
an Active Directory group policy object (GPO). You can use this
method to install to a particular organizational unit (OU).
See “To perform a silent installation using the MSI command line”.
See “To perform an installation using an Active Directory group policy object (GPO)”.
To create EVServers.txt
Log on to any Enterprise Vault server, using an account that has any Enterprise Vault administrator permissions.
Start Windows Explorer
and navigate to the OWA 2003
Extensions
subfolder of the Enterprise Vault installation
folder (normally C:\Program Files\Enterprise
Vault\OWA
).
If you install the
Enterprise Vault Extensions remotely, then the EVServers.txt
file needs to be copied to the same
location as the MSI installation file. If you install the
Enterprise Vault Extensions interactively on each server, then
EVServers.txt
and the MSI
installation file need to be available to each RPC target server
(back-end Exchange Server 2003).
To install the Enterprise Vault Extensions on an RPC proxy server
To install the Enterprise Vault Extensions on an RPC target server
Obtain the installation
file, Symantec Enterprise Vault OWA 2003
Extensions.msi
, together with the EVServers.txt
file. You can copy the files to the
Exchange Server computer or run them from a shared folder, as
required.
Ensure that the Exchange Server is running and that the Website that is associated with the Exchange Server has an ExAdmin virtual directory created.
To install and configure
both RPC and OWA, double-click the .msi
file.
To install and configure RPC only (without OWA), type and enter the command line:
At the end of the installation, you can select the option to view the Enterprise Vault installation log files.
To perform a silent installation using the MSI command line
Enter the following MSI command line:
msiexec.exe /i <path to .msi file> RPCEXTENSIONS=1 /qn
This command installs and configures RPC only, with no graphical interface or notification messages to the user who is running the command.
Specifying the parameter, /qb, displays a progress bar with a cancel option.
Any installation messages appear in the log files.
