Page 98 highlights

Configure Firewalls Before adding a workgroup be sure that the SQL server can communicate with the Vault server through the firewall. This can be done by allowing an exception for the SQL executables sqlbrowser.exe and sqlserver.exe. Configure Subscribers After the Publishing server is set up and configured the subscribing servers can be setup. When configuring the subscribing servers the publishing server will install the Vault server databases to the subscribing server over the network. NOTE For subscribing locations with slower network connections it is advantageous to configure the server at the same location as the publishe r and ship the server. If shipping a subscribing server to a different location, it should not be disconnected from the network for more than 14 days to allow a successful replication once reconnected to the network. 1 Install the same version of SQL that was used on the publisher with a preconfigured instance named AutodeskVault the same sa password as the publisher. 2 From the publisher launch the Vault server console. 3 In the left pane of the server console,right-click on the Workgroups node and select Add Workgroup. 92 | Chapter 8 Configure Vault Collaboration and Vault Professional

Before adding a workgroup be sure that the SQL server can communicate with
the Vault server through the firewall. This can be done by allowing an
exception for the SQL executables
sqlbrowser.exe
and
sqlserver.exe
.
Configure Subscribers
After the Publishing server is set up and configured the subscribing servers
can be setup. When configuring the subscribing servers the publishing server
will install the Vault server databases to the subscribing server over the
network.

For subscribing locations with slower network connections it is advantageous
to configure the server at the same location as the publishe r and ship the server.
If shipping a subscribing server to a different location, it should not be disconnected
from the network for more than 14 days to allow a successful replication once
reconnected to the network.
