Meeting Installation Prerequisites

After you have gathered the information that the Exchange Gateway Installation program requires and have planned the information you need to configure the Exchange Gateway after installation, make sure that the Windows machine where you plan to install the Exchange Gateway meets the system requirements listed in Exchange Gateway System Requirements.

  1. Make sure that the Novell ClientTM is installed.

    The Installation program creates a Gateway object in eDirectory. The Novell Client is required to access eDirectory. If necessary, you can download the Novell Client from the Novell Product Downloads site.

  2. Log in to the server where the domain directory resides and map a drive to the domain directory (worksheet item 5).

    The Installation program creates domain subdirectories and copies Exchange Gateway files to the subdirectories. This requires full file system rights to the domain directory.

  3. Log in to eDirectory with Admin-equivalent rights to the eDirectory tree where the Domain object resides (worksheet item 4).

    The Installation program creates a Gateway object under the Domain object.

  4. Continue with Installing the Exchange Gateway Software.
