See Also Installing the SharePoint Component Installing the SharePoint Component The following are general steps to installing the Discovery Attender for SharePoint component. For more detailed information, please see the Getting Started guide. The SharePoint component runs as a service on a server that is a member of the SharePoint farm containing the sites that need to be searched. It can be installed on and search SharePoint 2007 or SharePoint 2010 servers. Since the processing of files is done through the service installed on the SharePoint server, the machine where this service component is installed should have sufficient bandwidth, CPU, hard drive space and memory to conduct file searches. Full permission to the sites included in the searches is required for the SharePoint component to run effect- ively.
