3 Introduction Archive One Policy is an archiving, retention and retrieval management software application for Microsoft Exchange. It is flexible and adaptable to reflect the varying requirements of management applicable within different industry sectors, countries and corporate needs. At its heart is the ability to archive according to specific organizational requirements. The messages and attachments to be stored can be selected according to a wide variety of criteria, including (but not limited to) message originator, recipient, subject, size and creation dates. These criteria can be applied differently across the range of mailboxes, public folders and PST files. Components The components in Archive One Policy are: Archive One Policy Service a service that runs on a Windows 2000 or later system and performs the archiving by moving messages that match the search criteria in selected mailboxes offline and replacing them with links to the offline store. Archive One Policy Admin a program that runs on any Windows 2000, or above, PC and is used to configure the actions of the Archive One Policy Service. Search Website contains functions to allow users to search the archives of their own mailboxes, or mailboxes they have been granted access to. PST Processor Application a program that runs on the user desktop and processes any PST files that their Outlook session is currently using. Quick Link an optional component that can be deployed to user PCs to integrate archive retrieval into Outlook. Laptop Client an optional component that can be deployed to laptop users to allow them to keep a copy of their archived messages that they can access when not connected to the network. Optionally, you can also install third party storage management software to write archive data to a storage system such as an optical disk jukebox, SAN, NAS or other device.

4 Before You Start This Quick Start Guide makes the following assumptions: That you are already familiar with MS Exchange and have a reasonable understanding of the Exchange environment in which Archive One Policy will be installed. That you have set up a profile which connects to your Exchange server. As this is probably your first installation of Archive One Policy, it is recommended that you use a test Exchange server. That you have certain Windows and Exchange permissions (see the Prerequisites section). The system on which Archive One Policy is to be installed should meet the minimum requirements detailed below: Archive One Policy Quick Start Guide V4.2 Page 4 of 33

5 System Requirements AOne Policy Service runs on an Intel compatible Windows 2000 SP4 or later, Windows XP, Windows 2003 or later installation (Professional edition or Server edition). The server should be a minimum of a 1.4GHz machine with 40GB disk space (plus storage space for the archives). It should have at least 256MB of memory more than the equivalent correctly configured system would have without Archive One Policy installed. AOne Policy Service can be installed on: The same server that Exchange 5.5 or later is running on. A separate server connected via LAN of at least 10Mbps to the Exchange server. You should ensure that the servers have synchronized clocks. This is default behavior for a Windows 2000 based domain, but must be configured manually for an NT based domain. If you are using Exchange 5.5, it should be at least on Service Pack 3. If you are using Exchange 2000, it should be at least on Service Pack 1. To make full use of Archive One Policy features, the Exchange server to which AOne Policy Service is connecting must have OWA installed and configured and accessible through HTTP (ie not configured to only allow SSL connections). If this is not the case, then users who search the archive of their mailboxes will be able to retrieve mail into their mailbox but will not be able to automatically view it. AOne Policy Admin runs on an Intel compatible Windows 2000 SP4 or later, Windows XP, Windows 2003 or later installation running at least a 1.4GHz processor with at least 256MB minimum memory, that can communicate with the AOne Policy Service and Exchange server. In addition, AOne Policy Service needs either Exchange Admin or Exchange System Manager to be installed on the same machine in order to get the correct messaging environment, and AOne Policy Admin needs Outlook 2000 or later, Exchange Admin, or Exchange System Manager to be installed. When the installation is run to configure the AOne Policy Service, the server must be logged into as a user that has all the following characteristics (or the equivalent Exchange 5.5 characteristics where Exchange 2000 ones are listed here). With a default security configuration, a member of the Domain Admins groups for all domains involved will have all these rights: Is a member of the machine Administrators group of the machine on which the installation is taking place Is a member of the machine Administrators group of each machine that is running Exchange in the Exchange Administrative Group Has rights to create an Active Directory user and group Archive One Policy Quick Start Guide V4.2 Page 5 of 33

6 Has rights to create an Exchange mailbox Has rights to set permissions on Exchange objects None of the above components can be installed on Windows NT, although they can be installed on a Windows 2000 SP4 or later, Windows XP, Windows 2003 or later system and then used to connect to an Exchange 5.5 system that is installed on Windows NT. If you are installing a third party storage manager, this has its own system requirements: BrightStor ARCserve Backup from Computer Associates, version 11 or 11.1, requires at least a 400MHz processor, 256Mb memory and 120Mb hard drive space for the product. Storage Data Protector from HP, version 5.1 or 5.5, requires at least 256Mb memory, 190Mb hard drive space for the product and 16Mb system disk free, on at least Windows 2000 SP3 or later. The HSM product from QStar requires at least 64Mb memory and 70Mb hard drive space for the product All storage managers may need more memory and storage, depending on the options installed and the size of the archive. Consult the storage manager documentation for further information. The PST Processor can be run on any Windows 98 SE or later or Windows 2000 or later system. The Outlook client components (Quick Link and Laptop Client) can be run on any Windows 2000 SP4 or later, Windows XP, Windows 2003 or later system that has Outlook 2000 or later installed. The Search Website can be run on the same server as AOne Policy Service, or on a different server, and additionally requires IIS version 5.0 or later. The installation will install the.net Framework version 1.1 on the server on which it is run, if it or a later version is not already installed. If you are installing the Search Website, you should be aware that ASP.NET, installed with the.net Framework and required by the Search Website, does not work with its default settings on an Active Directory Server. For a fix and full explanation see Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q315158, at: Archive One Policy Quick Start Guide V4.2 Page 6 of 33

7 Prerequisites The account used to install the software should have Administrator rights on the local machine and also be a member of the Domain Admins group. The account needs sufficient rights to be able to: Create an NT global group in the user's current domain. In the case of Exchange 5.5, create a mailbox in the 'Recipients' container on the Exchange server. In the case of Exchange 5.5, know the password for the Exchange Service Admin account and have access to the domain that the account is in. In the case of Exchange 2000 or later, create a mailbox-enabled user in the 'Users' container in the Active Directory of the domain the Exchange 2000 or later Server is in. Automatic Install This guide assumes that Automatic will be selected as the install type as this is the recommended option for first time installations. (There is also an Interactive install option which may be used if a specific account is required to act as the service account.) During installation an Automatic install will: Create a group called AOnePolUsers(your site name or Exchange Admin Group ) Create a user account called AOnePolAdmin(your site name or Exchange Admin Group) Install and configure the Archive One Policy Service and Admin.
