Installing Microsoft Exchange Integration

If you choose to install groupware integration using Microsoft Exchange, you must run the AquaLogic Interaction Exchange Remote API installer. For more information, see Installing the Exchange Remote API. Refer to Configuring IIS for information on IIS configuration.

Installing Collaboration on Multiple Systems - Silent Installation

When you are installing the Image Service or Notification Service on a different computer from the one where Collaboration is installed, you can use the silent properties file to import the values into the installer and install silently. The installer must be run once as a GUI to produce a properties file.

To run the installer silently using the silent properties file, go to a command line and execute: 

<full_Path_To_Installer>/ALICollaboration_<version> -f 
<full_Path_To_Properties_File>/AquaLogicInteractionCollaboration_<versi
on>.properties

For example: 

<full_Path_To_Installer>/ALICollaboration_v4-1 - f 
<full_Path_To_Properties_File>/AquaLogicInteractionCollaboration_v4-1_s
ilent.properties
