Installing and Configuring OWA Extension

To install OWA Extension, the following must happen:

1. Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 (SP1, Update Rollout 5 or later) must be installed and

configured with a CAS role (can also be a Mailbox Server) or on a standalone CAS server.

2. OWA 2007 must be installed and functional

before

installing OWA Extension.

3. The Exchange Administrator must create an archive service account (HPAEServiceAccount)

with the following privileges necessary to perform the installation:

• Must be a Domain Admin

• Must have a mailbox in the domain

• Must have full access to all other mailboxes

• Must have permissions for ‘send-as’ and ‘receive-as’

4. The System Administrator must run HPOwaSetup.exe on the Exchange Server with CAS

role.

5. Enter the “IAP Address” (VIP in BlackBoxConfig.bct) and select “Install” to install OWA

Extension binaries in OWA and register forms.

For complete details on installing, configuring, and troubleshooting OWA Extension for Exchange

2000, 2003, and 2007, refer to the HP Email Archiving software for Microsoft Exchange Version 2.1

OWA 2003 versus OWA 2007 Installation

The installation script HPOwaSetup.exe (for OWA Extension application for Exchange 2007 and

OWA 2007) takes the place of CreateSite.vbs and OWASetup which are used for OWA 2003

on Exchange 2000 and 2003 installations.

With OWA 2003 on Exchange 2000 or 2003, the installation of OWA Extension was different for

environments that had a Single/Standalone Exchange Server versus Front-end and Back-end (FE-BE)

and Clustered Exchange Servers. A full installation of OWA Extension was required for Single/

Standalone Exchange Servers. For FE-BE or Clustered Exchange Servers, a full installation was only

required for Back-end Exchange Servers and only a partial install for every Front-end Exchange

Server.

This has changed with OWA 2007; OWA Extension installations are required on the Microsoft

Exchange 2007 Server (SP1) with CAS Role.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

For OWA Extension for OWA 2003, there is a separate installer on Exchange Server 2003 (which is

a legacy feature).
