Figure 2 - How Role-based Deployment works
The GFI MailArchiver role-based deployment process in a distributed
environment involves the following steps:
1. Establish the number of GFI MailArchiver instances required and
the role to assign to each instance.
2. Install GFI MailArchiver on each server that will be participating in
the deployment. This is a normal installation as described in the
previous sections in this manual.
3. Execute the Deployment Manager Wizard on each GFI MailArchiver
instance.
4. Store each server‟s deployment configuration file for future
reference. This file may be required when updating to newer GFI
MailArchiver builds or when the administrator needs to reconfigure the
deployment roles.
5. Configure GFI MailArchiver from the server with the User Interface
and Administration role.
NOTE 1: GFI MailArchiver instances communicate with each other
over the network using the .NET Remoting protocol.
NOTE 2: A GFI MailArchiver instance can be assigned more than one
role; the following roles can be assigned to more than one GFI
MailArchiver instance:
