Adding an NTFS file server

You can add a new NTFS file server to Enterprise Vault by using the New File Server wizard.

The wizard enables you to install the FSA Agent on the file server, if required. You need the FSA Agent if you want to do any of the following on the file server:

Replace archived files with placeholder shortcuts
Implement File Blocking
Use FSA Reporting

If you do not install the FSA Agent from the New File Server wizard, you can install it at a later date using the Install FSA Agent wizard. Alternatively, you can install the FSA Agent manually.

Note:

Do not install the FSA Agent on an Enterprise Vault server.

See Installing the FSA Agent on an NTFS file server.

To add an NTFS file server

In the Administration Console, expand the Enterprise Vault site until the Targets container is visible.
Expand the Targets container.
Right-click the File Server container and, on the shortcut menu, click New and then File Server. The New File Server wizard starts.
Work through the wizard to finish adding the file server.

You will need to provide the following information:
- The fully-qualified DNS name of the file server you are adding. You can browse to select the server.
- Additionally, if you choose to install the FSA Agent, the wizard asks for the password to the Vault Service account.
When you have added the file server, you can start adding the volumes that you want File System Archiving to process.
