Prerequisites

If the archive server you want to use is on another system, you may need to add it.

The archive server may not be accessible if a firewall on the archive system is blocking TCP port 3030. In SOLIDWORKS Enterprise PDM Installation Guide, read about running the archive server on Windows Vista.

Your Windows user account must have Administrative access to the archive server. If you create the vault on the same system as the archive server, the local administrator has this access by default.

In SOLIDWORKS Enterprise PDM Installation Guide, read about installing the archive server.

In SOLIDWORKS Enterprise PDM Installation Guide, read about installing and configuring SQL Server 2005.
