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:

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.

GoogleContinuity.exe.

3.
