Installing SnapManager in interactive mode

You can install SnapManager using the software installation utility in the interactive mode. The InstallShield wizard guides you through the installation.

Before you begin

The SnapManager Server Identity account must meet the following requirements:

The account must have administrator privileges on the Exchange server.
The account must also have system administrator server privileges.

About this task

The CD-ROM installation is the same as the network installation. The only difference is the name of the installation executable and the distribution media.

Do not use Terminal Services for any type of SnapManager administration, because you might miss critical information that is displayed only in pop-up boxes at the system console.

You do not need to stop Exchange services while you install SnapManager. Exchange can continue to run while you install SnapManager and afterward.

The SnapManager software installation program does not allow you to continue with the installation process if Microsoft .NET 3.5 is not installed. If .NET is not installed on a 32-bit system, the installation setup automatically installs it; on a 64-bit system, SnapManager prompts you to install it.

The default installation directory for SnapManager 6.0 for Microsoft Exchange installation is C:\Program Files\NetApp\SnapManager for Exchange\
