Components Installed with the Feature Pack

The Feature Pack adds new components to both the Windows Storage Server computer and the

Exchange server.

Windows Storage Server Computer

The Feature Pack installation procedure:
Adds a New Share for Exchange Files task to the Microsoft Web User Interface for
Windows Server Administration (Web UI). The new task allows an administrator to easily
create and manage the shares that host Exchange databases and transaction logs.
Creates a folder on the Windows Storage Server computer that contains the setup and
installation files that the customer will use to install the Feature Pack on the Exchange
server.
Installs a copy of the Windows Storage Server 2003 Feature Pack Installation Guide,
located in %ProgramFiles%\Windows Storage Server\Exchange\Installation_Guide.doc.
Exchange Server
The Feature Pack installation procedure installs three components on the Exchange server: two
remote storage tools — the Remote Storage Wizard and the WSSExchMove.exe command line
tool — and the Windows Storage Server Mapping Service (WSSExchMapSvc). Documentation
for the Feature pack is installed on the Exchange server.
The Remote Storage Wizard moves the databases and transaction logs for an Exchange
storage group to a Windows Storage Server computer and performs the configuration
updates that are required for Exchange to access the files.
The WSSExchMove.exe command-line tool offers the same capabilities as the Remote
Storage Wizard, as well as a few additional features, such as the ability to script an
unattended move and to copy the Exchange files to their destination locations without
deleting the original files.
The Windows Storage Server Mapping Service (WSSExchMapSvc):
Creates a mapped drive during the initial installation. The drive is used with Exchange
shares that are stored on Windows Storage Server computers.
Verifies the existence of the DFS root, DFS links, and share access after each restart of
the Exchange server and each time Windows Storage Server Mapping Service is
started.
Recreates the mapped drive, if required, after the Exchange server or the Windows
Storage Server Mapping Service is restarted. The service starts automatically whenever
the Exchange server is restarted. This allows the administrator to stop and restart the
Exchange server without manually locating and starting the Windows Storage Server
Mapping Service. The verification process and mapped drive creation process run to
completion as soon as the service starts. The service shuts down five minutes after these
processes complete.
The documentation that is installed includes:
Windows Storage Server 2003 Feature Pack Installation Guide, located in
%ProgramFiles%\Windows Storage Server\Exchange\Installation_Guide.doc.
Help for Remote Storage Tools for Exchange, located in %ProgramFiles%\Windows
Storage Server\Exchange\RemoteStorage.chm.
