# Installing the Exchange Remote API to Enable Groupware Integration

This appendix describes how to install the Exchange Remote API, which you use to integrate with Microsoft Exchange.

Note: | Integration with Microsoft Exchange is only compatible with Windows operating systems.

You can run the Exchange Remote API installer either before running the Collaboration installer or after running the Collaboration installer and scripting the portal and Collaboration databases.

If you already ran the Collaboration installer (and chose No Groupware Integration on the Collaboration: Advanced Features installer screen) and would like to configure Groupware Integration now, you do not need to run the Collaboration installer again. Instead, change the config.xml file settings for Groupware Integration appropriately. For details on configuring Groupware Integration-specific settings in config.xml, see Administrator Guide for BEA AquaLogic Interaction Collaboration.
