Prerequisites for classification

To implement classification, you require all the following on all the Enterprise Vault storage servers in your site:

  • Windows Server 2012 Original Release or R2.

    For performance reasons, we strongly recommend that you run Windows Server 2012 R2 on all Enterprise Vault servers, and not Windows Server 2012 Original Release.

  • The File Server Resource Manager service and the associated tools feature (fsrm.msc).

    These components let you administer the Windows File Classification Infrastructure, so that you can create and edit classification rules and properties.

    In the Enterprise Vault Install Launcher, the Prepare my system option automatically enables the File Server Resource Manager service and tools.

  • The Microsoft Data Classification Toolkit.

    To deploy the classification properties and rules across your Enterprise Vault site, you use Enterprise Vault PowerShell cmdlets, which work in combination with this toolkit. You can download it from the following page of the Microsoft website:

    https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/hh204743.aspx

You also require a license for the Enterprise Vault retention feature to manage classification. Classification operates in test mode if you have yet to install a license for the retention feature, or the existing license has expired.
