Installation Instructions for both New installations and FolderMatic Upgrades
If you are upgrading your existing version of FolderMatic, please make sure all the System Requirements have been met and all updated Preinstall Prerequisites have been completed prior to installation. Please review and certify your system prior to installation: Step by Step Pre-Installation Instructions
and then install over the older version. The FolderMatic upgrade install will automatically uninstall the older version and install the new version over it.
New install Tips:
| • | This install (or the prerequisites) may require a reboot of the server it is being installed on. Please be aware and schedule installation accordingly. |
| • | Remote Technical Support can handle the entire upgrade for a reasonable fee. To prepare for a remote install, it is best to make recent brick-level backups of the Exchange Stores and registry. Also, do all required Windows and Exchange Service Packs and reboot after they are installed. Also, make sure the directory where FolderMatic is installed is excluded from antivirus scanning. Critical Support Agreements are available at additional cost. Call 800-837-8636 for your Remote Session or go to http://www.DidItBetter.com/new+remote+support+session.aspx. |
