Prerequisites for servers running Archive Manager services
•
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 must be pre-installed (before running the installer)
•
Supported Archive Manager Server Operating System version. Please verify that your mail system requirements are supported on the desired operating system.
•
Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4: vcredist_x86.exe
•
Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package: vcredist_x86.exe
•
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2
•
SQL Native Client (sqlncli.msi). SQL Native Client 2005 or above is required.

To enable text-string searches and indexing of file attachments: You must install iFilters for the file types you want to search and index.

•
Microsoft offers a free pack of iFilters for its Office 2010 file types at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17062, (link current as of this release). SP2 can be applied via Windows Update or downloaded at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2687447. This Filter Pack includes IFilters for the following formats: .docx, .docm, .pptx, .pptm, .xlsx, .xlsm, .xlsb, .zip, .one, .vdx, .vsd, .vss, .vst, .vdx, .vsx, and .vtx.
•
iFilters for earlier-version Office file extensions (.doc, .rtf, .xls, .ppt, etc.), and for .txt, .htm and .html files, are installed with Microsoft Windows, and so should already reside on the Archive Manager server. You can verify their installation, and track and manage your iFilters generally, with a third-party iFilter browser; several are available at little or no cost from independent vendors.
•
Adobe bundles a copy of its PDF 32-bit iFilter with its free Adobe Reader 11 software, and offers a free PDF iFilter 64 11.0.01 as a separate download. It is recommended that you use Adobe version 11 PDF iFilters, or FoxIt IFilters.
•
Installing Adobe Reader X uninstalls PDF iFilters, which then need to be reinstalled. For additional information, see www.adobe.com.

Prerequisites for servers running Archive Manager websites
•
Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) version 10, 8.5, 8.0, 7.5 or 7.0.
Certain role services are required to be manually selected and installed on the web server in order for the Archive Manager Website to run correctly. These roles include: Common HTTP Features; Static Content; ASP.net; ASP; Basic Authentication; Windows Authentication; IIS Management Tools and Scripts; and IIS Management Console.
•
Microsoft ASP.NET (component of Windows, any supported Windows version).
•
Azure Active Directory PowerShell for Graph (for working with Office 365 only): Please install it with the Administrator Account, or Archive Manager Application Pool's identity.
•
ExchangeOnlineManagement (for working with Office 365 only): Please install it with the Administrator Account, or Archive Manager Application Pool's identity.
•
PowerShell 3.0 or later versions.

The API web service endpoint can be configured to use Windows Authentication or Anonymous Authentication. When using Anonymous Authentication, the web service application performs security checks and authenticates the client using Basic Authentication (plain text user password authentication). When using Windows Authentication, IIS handles the authentication and provides the web service application with a confirmation of the authentication attempt.

When Archive Manager works in a pure Office 365 environment,

•
Please do not change the authentication mode to Windows Authentication because no on-premises Windows logins will be archived by Archive Manager in this scenario.
•
Users who have MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) enabled in Office 365 cannot log in to the Archive Manager website, unless you have added the Archive Manager servers to Trusted IPs.

Archive Manager rights and permissions
•
Administrator Account: The account you are logged in with when you run the Archive Manager Install program.
•
The user who runs the installer must be an administrator over the local computer, as well as on the SQL Server and the GroupWise Server.

•

•
Must be in the Users group on the local machine, and a member of the local IIS_WPG group on the Web Servers. This is typically done by the installer.
•
Is a member of ArchiveManagerServiceUsers group.
•
