You run the OWA Extensions installation program on the front-end Exchange Servers first, and then on the back-end Exchange Servers.
The instructions given in
this section describe a typical, interactive installation, which
you initiate by double-clicking the .msi
file. Alternatively, the OWA Extensions can
be deployed silently using an MSI command line, or using an Active
Directory Group Policy Object (GPO) 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)”.
If you have problems with installing Enterprise Vault OWA Extensions, see the following technical note on the Symantec Enterprise Support site: http://entsupport.symantec.com/docs/321591. This technical note gives detailed troubleshooting information for Enterprise Vault OWA Extensions.
To run the OWA Extensions installation program
Log in to your Exchange Server computer as the account used to install Exchange Server.
Obtain the appropriate
installation file (Symantec Enterprise Vault
OWA 2000 Extensions.msi
for Exchange 2000 or Symantec Enterprise Vault OWA 2003 Extensions.msi
for Exchange Server 2003), 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.
At the end of the
installation, you can select the option to view the Enterprise
Vault installation log files. These are created in the installation
folder for the OWA Extensions (typically, Program Files\Enterprise Vault\OWA
).
To perform a silent installation using the MSI command line
Enter the following MSI command line:
msiexec.exe /i <path to .msi file> /qn
This will install with no graphical interface or notification messages to the user who is running the command.
Specifying the parameter, /qb, instead of /qn, displays a progress bar with a cancel button.
Any installation messages will appear in the log files.
