Where to install Folder Sync
For optimal performance, we recommend that you install each instance of the Folder Sync application on a separate standalone server or virtual machine.
Note:
We recommend that you do not install Folder Sync on an Active Directory domain controller, SQL Server computer, or Exchange server, due to the effect on performance.
The location requirements for Folder Sync depend on the type of Exchange environment that you support:
Table: Folder Sync application location requirements
Exchange environment | Requirements | Notes |
|---|---|---|
On-premises Exchange, or hybrid on-premises/Office 365 | An instance of the Folder Sync application must be installed in each Active Directory domain that contains Exchange Servers that you want to process, excluding related child domains. | If you use Veritas CloudLink for your on-premises Exchange mailbox synchronization you can install Folder Sync on the CloudLink server, if the server meets all of the Folder Sync server requirements. If you install CloudLink and Folder Sync on the same server, then to run either application you must log on with that application's service account. |
Office 365 only | At least one instance of the Folder Sync application must be installed. Each instance must be installed on a standalone server or standalone virtual machine. |
As explained elsewhere, you can install multiple instances of Folder Sync for load sharing or redundancy.
