Installing and Configuring the Verification Service for
Exchange
Replay Manager provides a Verification Service that can be used to verify Exchange data during backup and restore operations.
Once installed, the Verification Service is listed in the Microsoft Management console under Services.
Install the Verification Service for Exchange
Install the Verification Service on a server other than the Microsoft Exchange Server. The Verification server should be mapped
to the Storage Center using iSCSI or Fibre Channel.
NOTE:
Different Microsoft Exchange versions are not compatible. To use the Verification Service for more than one
Exchange version, install one instance of the Verification Service for each Exchange version on separate machines. Once a
Verification Service has been used to verify an Exchange Mailbox Database from a different version of Exchange, it cannot
be used to verify an Exchange Mailbox Database from a different version of Exchange.
1. The Replay Manager Verification Service installation package is included in the Replay Manager installation package.
Download the installation package from the Dell EMC support site (www.dell.com/support) if not done already.
2. Unzip the package.
3. Double-click the file to start the installation, and follow the instructions given by the installation wizard.
After installing the Verification Service, configure the Replay Manager to use the Verification Service during backups and
restores of Exchange data.
