Install the OWA Proxy Enabler - Clustered Environment - Virtual Server

Click on a link below to go to a specific section of the software installation:

Install Requirements
The OWA Proxy Enabler is required to be installed on the Exchange Server to support functionality for OWA and Outlook Add-In in the following configurations:
  • Off-host proxy installation for Exchange 2003/2007 Mailbox iDataAgent/Archiver, Exchange 2003/2007 Public Folder Archiver and/or Exchange 2003/2007 Compliance Archiver Agent.
  • 32-bit on 64-bit installation for Exchange 2007 Mailbox iDataAgent/Archiver, Exchange 2007 Public Folder Archiver and/or Exchange 2007 Compliance Archiver Agent.

The OWA Proxy Enabler can be installed from the active node to the virtual server using the following procedure. The software can also be automatically installed on all available passive nodes when the software is installed onto the virtual server, or you can choose to install any passive node(s) separately.

Verify that the computer in which you wish to install the software satisfies the minimum requirements specified in:

In order to use the OWA Proxy Enabler, you must install one of the supported agents listed below. For procedures on installing these agents, see:

The following procedure describes the steps involved in installing the OWA Proxy Enabler. If you choose to install multiple components simultaneously, refer to the appropriate procedures for installation requirements and steps specific to the component. Note that when you install multiple components, the sequence of the install steps may vary.

Review the following Install Requirements before installing the software:

General

  • This version of the software is intended to be installed in a CommCell where the CommServe and MediaAgent(s) version is 8.0.0.
  • Close all applications and disable any programs that run automatically, including anti-virus, screen savers and operating system utilities. Some of the programs, including many anti-virus programs, may be running as a service. Stop and disable such services before you begin. You can re-enable them after the installation.
  • Verify that you have the software installation disc that is appropriate to the destination computer’s operating system.
    Make sure that you have the latest software installation disc before you start to install the software. If you are not sure, contact your software provider.

Cluster

  • Check the following on the cluster computer in which you wish to install the software:
    • Cluster software is installed and running.
    • Active and passive nodes are available.
    • Disk array devices configured with access to the shared array.
    • Public Network Interface Card is bound first, before the private Network Interface Card. (Does not apply to NetWare Cluster.)

Agent Specific

  • For Exchange 2007 on a cluster virtual server, in either an off-host proxy configuration or a 32-bit on 64-bit configuration, because of a Microsoft issue with Exchange 2007 Server, components must be deployed in the following manner:

    • The cluster virtual server must have the Exchange Mailbox role only, not the client access role.
    • The Exchange Client Access role must be on another, non-clustered server.
    • For OWA recalls, OWA Proxy Enabler must be installed on both servers.
    • Functionality support for the Outlook Add-In requires that the OWA Proxy Enabler be installed on the cluster virtual server which has the Exchange Mailbox role.
  • If you are installing the OWA Proxy Enabler on a 64-bit instance to support functionality for 32-bit Exchange agents on a 64-bit platform, keep in mind that the Client name entered during install must be the same as the computer name hosting the 64-bit instance.

  • Prior to configuring Web Access for Exchange 2007 Mailbox/Public Folder Archiver, WebProxy Agent for Exchange, or OWA Proxy Enabler, ensure that the Client Access Role has been configured on the Exchange Server.

  • Time allocated for Setup to begin executing on each node, after which the install attempt will fail.
  • Time allocated for Setup to complete on each node, after which the install attempt will fail.

NOTES

  • If, during the remote install of a cluster node, setup fails to complete or is interrupted, you must perform a local install on that node. When you do, the install begins from where it left off, or from the beginning if necessary. For procedures, see Manually Installing the Software on a Passive Node.
19. Read the summary for remote installation to verify that all selected nodes were installed successfully.

NOTES

  • If any node installation fails, you must manually install the software on that node once the current installation is complete. (See Manually Installing the Software on a Passive Node for step-by-step instructions.)
  • The message displayed on your screen will reflect the status of the selected nodes, and may look different from the example.

Click Next to continue.

20. Setup displays the successfully installed components.

NOTES

  • The Setup Complete message displayed on your screen will reflect the components you installed, and may look different from the example shown.
  • If you install an Agent with the CommCell Console open, you need to refresh the CommCell Console (F5) to see the new Agents.
  • If Reboot Now button is displayed make sure to reboot the computer before performing any other operations from the computer.

Click Finish to close the install program.

The installation is now complete.

Post-Install Considerations

General

  • Install post-release updates or Service Packs that may have been released after the release of the software. If you are installing a Service Pack, verify and ensure that it is the same version as the one installed in the CommServe Server. Alternatively, you can enable Automatic Updates for quick and easy installation of updates in the CommCell component.

Agent Specific

  • Configure the Proxy for Exchange field in the Client Properties (Advanced) tab on the client hosting the Exchange Server to point to the client hosting the 32-bit agents. For more information, see Configuring the Proxy for Exchange.
  • In order to support stub recalls from OWA for Exchange 2003 agents in an off-host proxy configuration, run the RegisterWSSForm tool located on the Resource Pack, after installing the OWA Proxy Enabler.

Cluster

  • If the passive node was not available while installing the software, you must manually install the software on the passive node now. (See Manually Installing the Software on a Passive Node for step-by-step instructions.)
  • By default, a failure of MediaAgent or Agent software on the active node in a Windows, Veritas, or HP Scalable NAS/PolyServe Cluster will not cause a failover to be initiated. For information on how to change this default behavior, see Clustering Support - Failovers.
