Adding new Ex2k3 server t0 8.02 (Sanity Check)

[daliugrey_2]

Hi, sorry if this is rudimentary but not having done the original EV install just want some sanity check as I've only supported the existing infra. & didn't do the orgiinal install so I am parsing the install-config guide. 

we are adding a new Ex2k3 SP2 server to the org. EV server (8.02) remains the same. All on Windows 2k3 Sp2 systems.

I have created system mailboxes for the new ex2k3 serverrs & created new archive tasks to associate those mailboxes. Also followed guidance here http://www.symantec.com/connect/forums/exchange-2003-enterprise-vault-80-sp2-process-move-mailbox-an... to set the SynchInMigrationMode dword key to 1. 

However, I notice on the original Exchange server (not my install) there was a OWA folder with a bunch of wscript files for backend/frontend config. I dont see this mentioned in the Setting up Exchange Server Archiving pdf in the doc folder. Is there any EV installation (OWA extension? ) I have to run on the backend server? 

Thanks

I don't have my old v8 files readily available, but yes, there is an install you'll need to run for OWA to install the OWA extensions on the Exch2003 back-end server.  You'll find the instructions in the Installing and Configuring Guide, under Exchange OWA.

This is all covered in the Setting up Exchange Server Archiving pdf

http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH72611 - Chapter 9 covers configuring OWA access.

Also - here is the landing page for all of the 8.0 manuals -

thanks Chris. I've run the 2k3 extension with each subsequent upgrades but just wasn't sure & was confused by the makebackendserver.wsf file as I thought perhaps there was a different msi to run that I was missing. 

I did check the pdf & all it talked about was installing OWA 2k3 extension on front/backend. Just a sanity check. thanks

You will need to update the ExchangeServers.txt with the new IP's of the Exchange Servers on the EV server and re-run the script owauser.wsf
on the EV Server as well.
