If you choose Yes, M-Business Anywhere will preserve your existing user and account data. 5.3 - Upgrading OS & M-Business Server at the same time: ======================================================== If you upgrade your OS, you must reinstall M-Business Server software afterwards. Before upgrading your OS, save your M-Business Server database, then uninstall M-Business Server. If you are changing from a Windows NT to a Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 server machine, or from a Windows 2000 to a Windows 2003 server machine, and you also plan to upgrade your M-Business Server, see Chapter 4 of the Administrator Guide for M-Business Server. 5.4 - Upgrading M-Business Client: ================================== If your users are using a previous version of M-Business Client, we recommend upgrading to the client included with this server. There may be incompatibilities between previous clients and this version of the server. You cannot use M-Business Client for RIM Wireless Handhelds with versions of M-Business Server lower than 4.0. ================================================================= 6 - SUPPORTED/UNSUPPORTED CONFIGURATIONS ================================================================= 6.1 - Collocation with Primary Domain Controller NOT Supported ============================================================== We do not support installation of M-Business Server onto machines configured as Domain Controllers. 6.2 - Collocation with Microsoft Exchange Server NOT Supported =============================================================== We do not support installation of M-Business Server on machines that host Microsoft Exchange Server. 6.3 - Installing JavaScript client over non-JavaScript client on Pocket PC ========================================================================== If you install a JavaScript-enabled client over a non-JavaScript client, you will need to restart M-Business Client before you will be able to use the JavaScript feature. ================================================================= 7.0 - PRE-INSTALLATION NOTES ================================================================= 7.1 - Locating installation instructions ======================================== For installation, setup, and configuration information, please refer to the "Getting Started Task Checklist" in Chapter 2, Introduction, of the Administrator Guide for M-Business Server. 7.2 - Assigning administrator rights ==================================== You must assign administrative privileges to the account on the local machine under which the M-Business Server services run. Admin rights are required to perform all operations, including installation and uninstallation. 7.3 - Integrating with multiple Windows Domains =============================================== To integrate more than one Windows domain, you must assign the "Log on locally" right to the built-in NT group called "Authenticated Users." 7.4 - Using the Shortcut to Microsoft Management Console (MMC) ============================================================== For the short cut "Start|Programs|M-Business Server|M-Business Server Manager" to function, MMC must already be installed when you install M-Business Server. ================================================================= 8 - SECURITY NOTES ================================================================= 8.1 - Supported security level ============================== This product supports up to 128-bit encryption with SSL. 8.2 - Microsoft Internet Explorer proxy settings ================================================ If your users sync securely using Microsoft Internet Explorer proxy settings, you will need an RSA certificate. You can request an RSA certificate from a third-party vendor, such as Thawte or Verisign. See "Security on Windows" in the Administrator Guide for M-Business Server. 8.3 - Default proxy server ========================== If your users sync securely using the default proxy settings, you will need an ECC certificate from iAnywhere Solutions. See "Security on Windows" in the Administrator Guide for M-Business Server. 8.4 - Windows Domain Integration ================================: Because of security issues, when M-Business Server is installed with Windows Domain Integration, clicking the "Configure Connection" link does not automatically configure a user's password. Users will need to enter their passwords manually in M-Business Connect. 8.5 - Problems with proxy servers & login cookies ================================================= If your M-Business Server accesses the Internet through a proxy server, it is possible that your users may experience difficulties with sites requiring login cookies. To avoid these problems, we advise turning off the proxy server's caching ability. ================================================================= 9 - CONTACTING IANYWHERE SOLUTIONS ================================================================= 9.1 - Technical Support ======================= corp_support@ianywhere.com 9.2 - Client Services ===================== If you need help with customizing iAnywhere software to better serve your enterprise, please contact iAnywhere Solutions Professional Services at contact_us@ianywhere.com. 9.3 - Technical Publications ============================ If you have questions or suggestions about this document or other iAnywhere technical publications, please contact iAnywhere Technical Publications at iasdoc@ianywhere.com.
