Exchange Mountability Check Reuqirements - 6.2.x

over 5 years ago

I am setting up a new Rapid Recovery server. I know i need to install SQL on the core to do mountability checks of SQL.. But if i remember correctly, when i set up 5.4.x, i had to install Outlook on the core server to communicate with exchange. What if anything needs to be installed on the new core server to protect Exchange 2010 completely and do the required DB checks?

    Hello slarkinsol, 

    You are correct about SQL, that you need to have it installed for mountability checks. But with Exchange you do not require Outlook or anything like that.

    You may need to have a MAPI Profile (Outlook Profile) configured to perform a Mailbox restore or something like that. But does not need to be set up for mountability checks.

    Good luck with the rest of your setup. Please let us know if you have any other questions during the setup.

    Maybe the Outlook installed on my old version was done for Mailbox restores....its been 5 years since it was set up...i will install outlook and connect to exchnage for the mailbox restore functionality...

    On the SQL thing...i will be installing SQL 2016 on the core...any features other then the DB server function need to be installed during the SQL install?

    thanks

    Hi,

    There is no requirement on the core for Exchange mountability checks to run other then enable the option in the core UI. You would only need Outlook if running Mailbox Restores on the Core.

    For SQL, with a 6.2.1 core and 6.2.1 agent on the SQL server, you can run agent side SQL attachability checks for SQL databases. This does not require SQL server to be installed on the core. Please note, attachability checks can either be all ran core side or all ran agent side. This means all agents must 6.2 or higher on the SQL server side for agent side attachability checks to work.

    If you want to run SQL attachability checks on the core, same requirements are in place. SQL server version must be an equal or higher version of the highest production version of SQL.

    ok...what features of SQL 2016 need to be installed on the core if i want to do the mounts on the core rather than the agent?

    Core side SQL attachability check requirements are:

    • Version of SQL must be equal or higher than any production build
    • Install should be licensed - this is a MS requirement, not ours. Depending on your installer you may not need it.
    • Basic install of SQL server, which is Database Engine Services only, https://www.screencast.com/t/YEZO8Bgn20. No other features are needed.
    • Optional, but highly suggested, SQL Management Studio.
