Enterprise Vault™ Installing and Configuring

The required software and settings for the SharePoint Servers are as follows:

• You must use a version of Microsoft SharePoint that Enterprise Vault supports.

  For more information see the Enterprise Vault Compatibility Charts.

• Ensure that the Vault Service account has local administrator permissions on the SharePoint Server computer.

• The account under which the Enterprise Vault SharePoint task runs (typically the Vault Service account) must have full access to target site collections and their content.

• SharePoint Servers must be running Windows Server 2008 with Service Pack 1 or later. If Windows Server 2008 with Service Pack 1 is installed, you must also install the following mandatory hotfix for IIS:

  Note the following:

  • The hotfix that Microsoft provides for Windows Vista is the hotfix to use for Windows Server 2008.

  • By default, the Microsoft web page presents a hotfix download that matches the operating system of the computer that you are using. On the download page, choose the option to show hotfixes for all platforms and languages so that you can select the correct version of the hotfix.

• If you install in a server farm, you must install the Enterprise Vault components on all the front-end web servers.

• The Enterprise Vault SharePoint components require the Enterprise Vault SharePoint HttpModule. The Enterprise Vault Setup program automatically installs the Enterprise Vault HttpModule when you choose to install the Enterprise Vault SharePoint component.

• The DCOM port (135) must be open on the target SharePoint system.

• If Enterprise Vault and SharePoint run on separate computers, we recommend that you do not install Backup Exec on the same computer as the Enterprise Vault Microsoft SharePoint Components.

• You must use host names in the URL when adding SharePoint targets.

• To add a web application in SharePoint 2013 or later as an archiving target, you must ensure that the web application has the following authentication settings:

  • Integrated Windows authentication is enabled.

  • Trusted identity providers and forms-based authentication for all zones in the target web application are disabled.

  To add a web application in SharePoint 2010 as an archiving target, you must ensure that the web application has the classic mode authentication enabled.

  Note:

  Authentication settings are required not only for adding the web application as a target but also for archiving its content. Archiving stops if these settings are changed after adding the target.

• When a site in SharePoint 2013 or later uses claims authentication, the Claims to Windows Token Service (C2WTS) must be configured and running.

  For more information on how to configure C2WTS, see the following article:
