Messaging Server Installation Worksheets

When installing Messaging Server, use the following installation worksheets to record and assist you with the installation process. You can reuse these installation worksheets for multiple installations of Messaging Server, uninstallation, or for Messaging Server upgrades.


Tip –

Record all the port numbers you specify during the installation, along with the specific component using that port number.


The following worksheets are included:

Directory Server Installation Worksheet

You either installed Directory Server through the Java Enterprise System installer, or have a previous Directory Server installation. Record your Directory Server installation and configuration parameters in Table 15–2. You will need these parameters when you install and configure Administration Server and Messaging Server, as well as your initial Messaging Server runtime configuration. For additional help, see the Sun Java System Messaging Server 6 2005Q4 Administration Guide.
