Learning Exchange Server Archiver - 3.0

Prerequisites

This topic contains information about the prerequisites for installing Exchange Server Archiver. For a pdf file containing all the information on installing and configuring Exchange Server Archiver, see Installing Exchange Server Archiver.

To install Exchange Server Archiver, and to use the Admin Console, you must be a domain administrator. The Archive Service, User Archive Access (UAA) Service, and the Storage Service must all be installed in the same domain.

The following is required:

  • Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 (Update Rollup 1 or later)
  • or Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 with public folders enabled (Service Pack 1 and Update Rollup 3 or later for Outlook® Web Access Add-in)
  • or Exchange Server 2003 (Service Pack 2 or later for Outlook Web Access Add-in)

For each of the computers on which you will install a service, the following is required:

  • Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows 2008, or Windows Vista®
  • Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 or later

Additionally, for the individual services, the following is required:

Archive Service

The Archive Service needs a user to communicate with Exchange. You must create the user prior to installing the services and components; for full details of the necessary permissions and other requirements, see Creating the Archive Service user.

User Archive Access (UAA) Service

  • IIS 5.1 or later

    If you are using IIS 7, you must also set up IIS 6 Metabase Compatibility and Windows Authentication; see Configuring IIS.

    Note: in a production environment, do not install the UAA Service on IIS 5.1 (or IIS 6.0 in IIS 5.0 isolation mode); only install the UAA Service on these versions in an evaluation environment in which all services are installed on the same server.

  • ASP.NET 2.0

    For IIS 7 and IIS 6, the UAA Service installer creates an application pool that is configured for ASP.NET 2.0. For IIS 5.1, you must ensure the ASP.NET version is set to 2.0; see Configuring IIS.

  • MAPI

    You must ensure that you install a version of MAPI that is compatible with your Exchange configuration. For details, see MAPI versions supported for Exchange Server Archiver.

  • the installer requires that a Web site must be configured to use port 80 before you install the UAA Service; however, you do not have to use this Web site for the UAA Service

The server on which you install the UAA Service must be visible to users accessing their messages remotely.

The location of the UAA Service is added to archived messages. Therefore, you are strongly recommended to create a CNAME (alias) DNS record for the UAA Service's server and enter this in the Web site address; otherwise, a change to the URL will mean that all archived messages will need to be reprocessed.

Storage Service

  • Microsoft® Indexing Service

For operating systems prior to Windows Vista and Windows Server® 2008, the Indexing Service is installed by default.

To install the Indexing Service on a Windows Vista computer, go to the Control Panel, and turn the Indexing Service feature on. You are also recommended to install the latest Windows Vista service pack; see the Microsoft support page article 940069. If you do not install this service pack, searches from the Outlook Add-in or UAA Service may return results from subfolders unexpectedly.

For information about how to install and configure the Indexing Service on a Windows Server 2008-based computer, see the Microsoft support page article 954822.

Outlook Web Access Add-in (optional)

Exchange Server 2010 Outlook Web Access is not supported.

Note that if you install further service packs or rollups after you have installed the Outlook Web Access (OWA) Add-in, you may need to uninstall and re-install the add-in.

If you are using Exchange Server 2003 and you install the UAA Service on a different computer from the Exchange server, to use the OWA Add-in you must allow delegation of credentials to the UAA Service. For full details, see Authorization for the OWA Add-in on Exchange Server 2003.

Outlook Add-in (optional)

  • Outlook 2007 (Service Pack 2 or later) or Outlook 2003
  • Outlook .NET Programmability Support
