Vault Server Installation: Neustart notwendig?

When you install Vault Server, during the install diagnostic pre-checks you see a message preventing you from installing and claiming "Reboot Needed"

If you run "regedit" and delete the following keys

Key: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager,
Key: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\FileRenameOperations

From those, delete the following keys from the registry

• "PendingFileRenameOperations"
• "FileRenameOperations"

then attempt the installation again it should work

Vault Server Install - Reboot Needed?

Vault Server: Dateien bereinigen und Vault verkleinern und Performance verbessern

In Vault it is possible to perform a "Purge" in both the Vault Client and Vault Server. The Vault Client will only allow a user to purge select file versions. The Vault Server will allow you to purge an entire Vault Database.

If you need to understand more about how File Version Purging works and and the rules applied when you perform a Purge, then look to the help in the Vault Client. Press F1 and look for "Purging Versions". Under the Concept Tab is a section of particular interest called "Basic Rules of Purging".

Purging Files - The Rules

Follow these steps to reduce the size of the Vault and improve performance 

1. (Server) Run an SQL maintenance plan as per the Advanced Configuration Guide
2. (Client) Delete unwanted files\folders
3. (Client) Change the "Thumbnail" property to "Not In Use" and Reindex Properties
4. (Client) Change any other unwanted Properties to "Not In Use" and Reindex Properties. The biggest benefit will be those with high Usage counts. 
5. (Client) Delete unwanted "Obsolete" Items (Productstream\Vault Manufacturing\Vault Proferssional Only)
6. (Server) Purge unwanted versions. RULES OF PURGING
7. (Server) Run a property reindex
8. (Server) Run an SQL maintenance plan (Again) as per the Advanced Configuration Guide
9. (Server and Clients) Remove the IPv6 from all clients and the server.

Running the SQL Maintenance plan at the beginning is to hopefully make the following steps easier, then once all the steps are carried out, run it again.

Client Side - Grid Population\ Folder Navigation performance suggestions

Remove the following property columns from the client grid display

• "Thumbnail"
• "Property Compliance"
• "Vault Status"

These properties provide useful (but arguably not critical) information to the user. Some are calculated dynamically and will differ from one user to another in almost realtime. The effect of displaying these properties is that it perpetually requests information from the server and slows down Vault for all users.

How To...Reduce Vault Size and Generally Improve Vault Performance

Vault Server auf einem anderen Laufwerk installieren

One of our partners asked how it might be possible to install Vault on another when the C:\ drive runs out of space.

Possibly the simplest way to achieve this is to modify the Windows registry

Run "Regedit "

Navigate to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion"

Edit the Following variables

Change the Value Data for "ProgramFilesDir" to #:\Program Files (DEFAULT = C:\Program Files)

Change the Value Data for "ProgramFilesDir (x86)" to #:\Program Files (x86 (DEFAULT = C:\Program Files (x86))

Where # indicates the drive letter you want to divert the installation to.
