Installation instructions

8  Installing GFI MailSecurity GFI MailSecurity for Exchange/SMTP
 Install GFI MailSecurity on the node local hard drive.
NOTE: Do not install GFI MailSecurity on the shared drive.
 Install the GFI MailSecurity WWW virtual directory on the
node‟s Default Web Site.
 If you are installing on an IIS cluster, make sure you bind GFI
MailSecurity to the Clustered SMTP Virtual Server instance.
The following steps show you how to install GFI MailSecurity in a
typical Active/Passive Cluster environment. For this scenario, assume
the cluster, named MAILCLUSTER, is made up of two nodes, named
Node1 and Node2.
1. Using the Cluster Administrator console make Node1 active.
2. Install GFI MailSecurity on the local hard drive of Node2 as
described in the „Installing GFI MailSecurity‟ section of this chapter.
When you reach the IIS Setup step of the installation, select Default
Web Site to host the GFI MailSecurity WWW virtual directory.
NOTE: The Default Web Site IP address of Node2 should not be set
to „All unassigned‟. You should configure the Default Web Site to use
the IP address of the MAILCLUSTER machine.
3. When the GFI MailSecurity installation on Node2 completes, you
should be able to access the Node2 configuration using the following
URL: http://Node2/MailSecurity/
4. From the Cluster Administrator console, make Node2 active.
5. Install GFI MailSecurity on the local hard disk of Node1 as
described in the „Installing GFI MailSecurity‟ section of this chapter.
When you reach the IIS Setup step of the installation, select Default
Web Site to host the GFI MailSecurity WWW virtual directory.
NOTE: The Default Web Site IP address of Node1 should not be set
to „All unassigned‟. You should configure the Default Web Site to use
the IP address of the MAILCLUSTER machine.
6. When the GFI MailSecurity installation on Node1 completes, you
should be able to access the Node1 configuration using the following
URL: http://Node1/MailSecurity/
7. To access the product configuration of the currently active node use
the following URL: http://MAILCLUSTER/MailSecurity/.
NOTE 1: To access product configuration from a remote machine you
must configure the GFI MailSecurity SwitchBoard application,
making sure that the MAILCLUSTER name/IP is specified for IIS
Mode. For more information, refer to the „Securing access to the GFI
MailSecurity configuration/quarantine‟ section in this chapter.
NOTE 2: You will only be able to access the URL
http://MAILCLUSTER/MailSecurity/ if you assign the IP address of the
MAILCLUSTER machine to the Default Web Site for Node1 and
Node2 during the IIS Setup installation step.
8. The installation of GFI MailSecurity on an Active/Passive cluster is
now complete.
NOTE: If Service Pack 2 for Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 is not
installed on a Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 cluster installation,
Internet Information Services Web sites that are hosted on the cluster
will not start automatically when an Exchange Server 2003 virtual
