How to install GroupWise WebAccess on Windows Server

1. (conditional) Install the Microsoft Web Server role from Server Manager:
• To install the Web Server (IIS) role, in the list of tasks, click Add roles and then click Web Server (IIS).
  For more information about installing IIS, see Installation.
• Add the ISAPI Extensions and ISAPI Filters
  Note: This is necessary to support the redirection from Apache to Tomcat.
  
  
2. Verify the IIS Web Server Role was installed and is working correctly:
• Open Services to verify there is a WorldWideWeb Publishing Service that is Started and set to Automatic. 
• From a browser, visit http://127.0.0.1 and verify the IIS Welcome Page is displayed.
  
  
3. Stop the WorldWideWeb Publishing Service during the GroupWise WebAccess install.
   
   
4. Verify the Post Office Agents have SOAP enabled and the port is open or available from the WebAccess server to the POA(s).
   
• GW2014: Supporting SOAP Clients.
• GW2012: Supporting SOAP Clients.
  
  
5. Install GroupWise WebAccess:
• GW2012: Windows: Setting Up GroupWise WebAccess.
  
• GW2014: Installing the GroupWise 2014 WebAccess Application.
  Note: Tomcat 6 should be Started in Services. Also, the following directories are created by the installer:
  C:\Novell\tomcat6, C:\Novell\tomcat6\java and C:\Novell\tomcat6\connectors.
  
  
6. Verify the Install worked by visiting http://127.0.0.1/gw/webacc from a browser on the server itself.
