What if I have historic server components installed?

Some client environments may have OnePlaceMail server components installed from an earlier release of OnePlaceMail.  These are not required from Release 6 onward and can be removed (unless you have been directed by technical support to retain the components).

ClosedRemove Server Components (recommended)
  1. Leave the existing server components installed on the WFE/SharePoint servers (temporarily)
  2. Upgrade client installations, using the MSI (not exe/setup wizard), using parameters:

    OnePlaceMail_Office2013.msi /quiet LicenseLocation="http://yourSPserver/lists/license" SettingsUrl="http://yourSPserver/sites/OnePlaceLiveSolution" ForceClientOnly="1"

    OnePlaceDocs_Office2013.msi /quiet LicenseLocation="http://yourSPserver/lists/license" SettingsUrl="http://yourSPserver/sites/OnePlaceLiveSolution" ForceClientOnly="1"

    Please note the license location needs to be set for each MSI that is deployed. If the license location is not included, the software will not be licensed correctly.

     

The OnePlaceLive client only needs to be installed for solution architects responsible for creating OnePlaceLive Solution Profiles for publishing to the OnePlaceLive service.

OnePlaceLive.msi /quiet LicenceLocation="http://yourSPserver/lists/license" SettingsUrl="http://yourSPserver/sites/OnePlaceLiveSolution" ForceClientOnly="1"

  1. Once all client installs are upgraded (with the ForceClientOnly switch), the server component can be uninstalled from all WFE/SharePoint servers.
