Install Requirements |
For several agents or components, you
can use Active Directory Group Policy Objects
(GPOs) to remote the installation out to remote
clients. An MSI package can be pushed out using full
interface mode. After the remote installation is complete, you can use
the load an ADM template available in the Resource Pack to override Registry
settings for the remote installation of Outlook Add-In. (See
Resource Pack for more information.) This remote install type is supported by the following:
Verify that the computer in which you wish to install the software satisfies the requirements specified in the following, as appropriate:
The following procedure describes the steps involved in installing the supported agent or component. If you choose to install multiple components simultaneously, refer to the appropriate procedures for installation requirements and steps specific to the component. Also, keep in mind that when installing the Outlook Add-In for use only with the Exchange Mailbox iDataAgent, certain tasks and steps in this procedure may not apply, as they are specific to migration archiving-related functions. For example, the OFL Configuration section can be skipped when installing Outlook Add-In with the Exchange Mailbox iDataAgent. In order to use the Outlook Add-In component, you must install one of the supported agents (Exchange Mailbox Archiver Agent, Exchange Public Folder Archiver Agent, Exchange Mailbox iDataAgent). For procedures on installing these agents, see: In order to use the Lotus Notes Client Add-In, you must install the Domino Mailbox Archiver Agent on the Domino server. See Deployment - Exchange Agents for procedures on installing the Domino Mailbox Archiver Agent. In order to use the File Share Archiver Client component, you must install the File Archiver for Windows Agent. See Getting Started - Windows File Archiver Agent Deployment for procedures on installing the File Archiver for Windows Agent. Do not install the File Share Archiver Client and the File Archiver for Windows Agent on the same computer. Note that configurations utilizing an FPolicy or Celerra instance to perform the recalls do not require the File Share Archiver Client software. For more information, see Instances - File Archiver. If you are remote installing the software following its removal via Add/Remove Programs (i.e., if you are reinstalling the software under this scenario), you cannot use the same Group Policy Object (GPO) to reinstall the software. See Article 872969 in the Microsoft Knowledge Base for a workaround. By following the steps in this article, the software will be reinstalled on the affected computers the next time these computers are rebooted. Review the following Install Requirements before installing the software: General
