If you plan on configuring KnowledgeSync to integrate with your Microsoft Outlook
(Exchange) based email system, you will need to have either Microsoft Outlook or
Microsoft Office Pro (which includes Microsoft Outlook) installed on the
KnowledgeSync server. Note that the Microsoft Outlook installation must include the
installation of a Microsoft component called “CDO” (collaboration data objects).
KnowledgeSync does not need to be installed on the same server as your database(s).
As long as KnowledgeSync can access your application’s data via ODBC, it can be
installed anywhere on your network (local network is preferred).
KnowledgeSync may be configured to use either a Microsoft Access or a Microsoft
SQL Server database. If you plan on using an Access database, you do not need to
have Microsoft Access installed on the KnowledgeSync server. If you plan on using a
SQL Server database, you do need to have MS SQL Server 2000 (Enterprise or
Standard) with Service Pack 4 or above, SQL Server 2005 (Longhorn) with no
service packs required, or SQL Server Express 2005 (formerly known as MSDE).
If you plan on using SQL Server Express, you will need to download and install the
(free) SQL Server Express database from the Microsoft Windows website.
(Note also that each of KnowledgeSync's servers (e.g., the application event server,
the email server, the fax server, etc.) will use its own SQL Server login, so the SQL
Server version is best utilized by those organizations that license SQL Server per
"server" and not per "user".)
