System requirements

To install GFI MailArchiver you need:

Windows 2000 (Service Pack 3 or higher) or Windows 2003

The machine needs to be a Domain Controller or connected to one, since GFI MailArchiver requires access to Active Directory.
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0
Internet Information Services (IIS) - World Wide Web service

NOTE: Ensure that ASP.NET is registered with IIS. To register it follow these steps:

1. Open Command Prompt
2. Go to <Windows Directory>\Microsoft.NET\Framework\<version number>\
3. Run the command `aspnet_regiis.exe -i' and press ENTER
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or later

NOTE: Upon installation, GFI MailArchiver creates a default archive store in a Firebird Database (open source). Therefore, Microsoft SQL Server is only a requirement if you would like to store data on Microsoft SQL Server instead of Firebird. GFI MailArchiver supports both Microsoft SQL Server 2000 (Service Pack 3 or higher) and Microsoft SQL Server 2005.
