2.2 Server Installation

The server installation program uses the Environment Analyzer to ensure that your computer meets specific requirements before installing software for the server and the Remote Admin Console. If the Environment Analyzer detects a problem, a message appears and the installation stops. You can restart the installation once you correct the problem.

  1. Download the GroupWise Mobile Server compressed executable file (gms701.exe) from the Novell download Web site to a temporary directory on your Windows server.

  2. Extract the .exe file into a directory at the root of your local drive or to a network server drive that can handle long pathnames.

    The compressed file contains directory paths that could exceed DOS limits.

  3. In Windows, click Start > Run > Browse, then locate the directory where you extracted the GroupWise Mobile Server Beta files.

  4. Select the setup.exe file, then click OK to run the GroupWise Mobile Server Installation program.

  5. Click Next. The contents of the installation package extract and the Welcome dialog box appears.

    GroupWise Server Access

    If this is the first time you are installing GroupWise Mobile Server, you cannot select Trusted Application. You must use a GroupWise user on the POA to authenticate. When you have finished the installation and started GroupWise Mobile Server for the first time, you can change the access method to Trusted Application. For information on how to set up a trusted application, see Accessing GroupWise Using a Trusted Application in the GroupWise Mobile Server 7 Administration Guide.

    • I can reach this server via HTTP from within my corporate firewall.

    • I can reach this server via HTTP from outside of my corporate firewall or no firewall exists.

    • I’ve verified that if antivirus software is running on this server then the PIM\SharedFileSystem directory, under the Intellisync Mobile Suite install directory, is excluded from virus scanning. Failure to do this can significantly degrade performance.

    • I understand that Intellisync Mobile Suite is not intended to be installed on the same machine as other third party server software.

  4. Continue with Step 14 of the installation process.

2.2.2 The Default Web Site

When you install Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS), the program creates a default Web site. GroupWise Mobile Server does not modify the existing default Web site during the installation process (except to stop it). Instead, the installation program creates a new site called Intellisync Web Site.

The Web site used by GroupWise Mobile Server should be the only one running on the server, and this site should not be used by another Web site.
