Google Message Continuity Setup and Administration Guide

1. Complete a preparation checklist

Before you install the Continuity Sync Server, you need to complete a few
important steps from the following checklist:

Make sure you have Exchange 2003, 2007, or 2010 as your primary mail
server.

Do not install the Continuity Sync Server on the same machine that is running
your Exchange Server.

Each Windows client machine where you plan to install and run the
Sync Server must have the following minimum configuration:

Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2003 or Windows 7

Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010.

Be sure the computer where you plan to install and run the Sync Server has a
disk space of at least 10MB per user and an overall disk space of at least
5GB.

Decide the Windows user account under which the Sync Server will run (for
example, solarmora.com\jadmin).

Give Exchange administrative role permissions (including 'Receive As') to that
Windows account (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/823018). This account
must have both read and write privileges on all accounts to be synched.

The Continuity Sync Server uses the standard ports for HTTP and HTTPS --
by default, these are ports 80 and 443. We recommend the following:

Open the Sync Server to port 80.

Open port 443 to Google API hosts. If the Sync Server is unable to reach
any services that it needs to talk to (EMAPI, EMAPI), it will throw an error.

Open the Sync Server to port 80 on the following host as well:

http://clients2.google.com

This is not a required step for GMC to work, but it provides us with
valuable debug information in the event of a system crash.

2. Download and run the installer file

Follow these steps to download and install the Continuity Sync Server:

1.

Download the installer file GoogleMessageContinuity.msi from the following
URL:

http://dl.google.com/google-message-continuity/

googlemessagecontinuity.msi

2.

Run the installer file. This installs the Continuity Sync Server executable
GoogleContinuity.exe.
