PST Flight Deck 9.2 - Deployment Guide

Prerequisites

The following are prerequisites for the Windows server where PST Flight Deck core and modules will be installed:

·.NET Framework 4.7 (minimum)

oYou can check the version used with Regedit.exe

§Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full\1033

·PowerShell Azure AD module

oEnsure that the command Connect-AzureAD is working

·IIS is enabled

·In case you are using an Azure VM with Azure SQL, you must have SQL DB name “PSTFlightDeckDirectory” created. Then you need to execute different scripts for PST Flight Deck and fill up the database with Tables. Run one by one starting with 6.0, then each version up to 8.0.0.

Installation

The module can be installed as *.exe file through bootstrapper or it can be installed as separate module (.msi).

·Path for .exe

odrop\Bootstrapper\Quadrotech\Bootstrapper\bin\x64\Release\PSTFlightDeck_bootstrapper-x64-8.1.59346.02.exe

·Path for .msi:

odrop\Bootstrapper\Quadrotech\AzureADModule.Installer\bin\x64\Release\AzureADModule-x64.msi

1.Once you are at the modules list, select/check Azure AD module, and deselect Active Directory module, as this module is for on-premises.

2.At the SQL connection screen, if you are using AzureSQL Azure DB, copy and paste PrimaryConn string in followed format and click Next (do not hit check access):

a.Example:

i.Server=tcp:mac8vralg0.database.windows.net,1433;Initial Catalog=PSTFlightdeckDirectory;Persist Security Info=False;User ID=admin@mac8vralg0;Password=xxxxxxxx;Encrypt=True;TrustServerCertificate=False;Connection Timeout=300;

3.After installation process is done, Azure AD Sync module will now run as a service.

4.You now need to set the credentials for authentication. To run user sync from Azure Active Directory, you have to enter both the OAuth Credentials and Service Credentials. To use the OAuth method with AppId, thumbprint certification and Tenant name, you will also need *.cer to install it on the server. Once this is set, save the credentials and restart the Azure AD Sync service to reflect these changes.

a.Default path for Azure AD Credential Editor is c:\Program Files\Quadrotech\PST Flight Deck\Azure AD Sync\

Additional Information

·To force the process of syncing users from Azure Active Directory, run the task name Synchronize Active Directory from the Scheduled Tasks menu.

·Logs are stored in the path c:\Program Files (x86)\Quadrotech\Logs\

Collect custom attributes from Active Directory

There may be information from Active Directory that PST Flight Deck does not collect by default. To collect custom attributes, add this to the AD Sync module configuration file, then restart the service and run the scan.

The AD sync module will then collect this information and add it to your desired UserCustomField. You will need to know the name of the custom attribute, which you can find in the PowerShell AD module.

Agent Version

The version of the agent that will be installed will coincide with the architecture of Outlook which is installed. For example, if a client has the 64 bit version of Outlook installed, the installer will automatically detect and choose to install the 64 bit version of the Migration Agent.
