Upgrading from DisclaimIt 4.x

An in-place upgrade from a DisclaimIt 4.x version to DisclaimIt 5.5 is not supported because DisclaimIt 5.5 can only be installed on MS Exchange 2013/2016/2019 Mailbox/Edge Transport servers, while DisclaimIt 4.x versions could only be installed on MS Exchange 2007/2010 Hub Transport servers.

It is possible to perform a one-time migration of your 4.x configuration by copying the content of the directory <InstallDir>\Data\Configuration from a server with DisclaimIt 4.x installed to the same directory on the server where DisclaimIt 5.x is installed.


DisclaimIt and MS Exchange 2013/2016/2019

DisclaimIt 5.5 can only be used in an MS Exchange 2013/2016/2019 environment. The DisclaimIt Services for message processing can only be installed on MS Exchange 2013/2016/2019 servers with the Mailbox Server role installed. Please note the following deployment options:

Managing DisclaimIt on Windows Server 2019 Server Core installations

To manage DisclaimIt you use DisclaimIt Manager, which is implemented as an MMC 3.0 Snap-In.

To use DisclaimIt Manager locally on a Windows Server 2019 Server Core installation requires installation of the optional feature package Windows Server 2019 Server Core App Compatibility Feature on Demand (FOD). When FOD is installed, MMC 3.0 Snap-Ins, like DisclaimIt Manager, can be used. To start DisclaimIt Manager you run in the CMD prompt the MSC file DisclaimIt.msc, located in the directory <InstallDir>\Bin, for example:

"%ProgramFiles%\DisclaimIt\Bin\DisclaimIt.msc"
