Before installing Microsoft Office Server Extensions (OSE) on your Web server, make sure that you have installed the required hardware and software.
The following table identifies the minimum and recommended hardware requirements for OSE.
| Component | Requirements |
|---|---|
| Processor | 166 MHz Intel Pentium
Recommended: 300 MHz or higher Intel Pentium |
| Free hard disk space | 120 MB |
| RAM | 64 MB |
To run OSE, you must first install the following software on your server:
– or –
Microsoft Windows NT® Server version 4.0 with Service Pack 4 or later, or Windows NT Workstation version 4.0 with Service Pack 4 or later.
– or –
Microsoft Personal Web Server (Windows NT Workstation or Windows 2000 Premium).
Although configurations based on both IIS 4.0 and Personal Web Server are supported, only IIS 4.0 provides full support for the OSE server properties.
Note Optionally, you can install the IIS Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) service to use with the Web Subscriptions feature on your OSE-extended web. If you do not want to use the Web Subscriptions feature, or if you have a separate SMTP mail server, then you do not need to install the IIS SMTP service.
You can use the Internet Mail Service feature of Exchange Server as your SMTP mail server to support the Web Subscriptions feature. In fact, you can use any mail server that supports SMTP — including the IIS SMTP service.
Better security with the NTFS file system
OSE supports the file allocation table (FAT) file system, but a FAT-formatted drive provides very few security features. For better security, format a disk with the NTFS file system before you install OSE.
Windows NT provides a tool named Convert.exe that makes it easy for you to maintain the integrity of your data when you convert an existing volume from the FAT file system to the NTFS file system. To run the Convert.exe tool, on the Start menu, click Run, and then type the following command:
convert [drive] /fs:ntfs
Note OSE does not support the plug-in language features of the Microsoft Office 2000 MultiLanguage Pack. OSE features are displayed in the installation language only. Multilanguage functionality is supported only on Microsoft Office 2000 client systems.
When you locate your OSE-extended web on a disk formatted with the NTFS file system, you can increase security on the server significantly. For more information about OSE security configurations, see Securing Your OSE-extended Web.
You can use the Convert.exe tool to convert your existing FAT-formatted drive to NTFS file system. For more information about using the Convert.exe tool, see the Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 Resource Kit.
You can use a SQL Server to support your OSE-extended web. For more information about Microsoft SQL Server, see the Microsoft SQL Server Web site at http://www.microsoft.com/sql/.
For more information about the NTFS file system, search for NTFS file attributes on the Microsoft Web site at http://www.microsoft.com/.
