Preparing for Your Vault Office Installation

The instructions in this section help you prepare for your Vault Office and Vault Add-ins installation.

• The Vault Office (Server) must be installed on the same machine as the Vault Server.
  Note: Vault Office (Server) installs additional functionality on the Vault Server so that users can perform data management tasks with the Vault thin client. Without the Vault Office Server installed, users can only browse a vault with the Vault thin client.
• A Vault Workgroup or Vault Professional server must be installed prior to running the Vault Office installer on a server machine.
• The Vault thin client must be installed before you can install the Vault Office Server.
• The Vault Client and Vault Office Client cannot be installed on the same machine.
• The Microsoft Office and Microsoft Outlook Vault add-ins should be installed on client machines where the user needs to access a vault from Microsoft Office or Microsoft Outlook.
• If you wish to uninstall a Vault server after Vault Office has been installed, you must uninstall Vault Office first and then uninstall the Vault server.
• If you will be working with files larger than 50MB, you must modify your web.config file. Otherwise if you attempt to check in a file larger than 50MB you will see an Error 404. To modify your web.config file:
  1. Edit the web.config file located in the C:\Program Files\Autodesk\ADMS Professional [year]\Server\Web\Webclient folder.
  2. Search for maxRequestLength.
  3. Change 512000 to a larger value.
  4. Save the file.

After preparing your environment for Vault Office, you are ready to begin the installation.
