14.1 How Role-based Deployment Works
Screenshot 141: 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.
