Groove Server Install

[Sam]

For the life of me I can not find any Install Guides for Groove server. Can
someone point me to a step-by-step guide on how to set one up?

Thanks - Sean

Hi Sean -

There's a bunch of getting started guides here:

As Mark mentioned, the Technet site contains all of the Groove Server
documentation for deployment/installation.
More product info is at -
http://office.microsoft.com/enus/grooveserver/FX101674161033.aspx

There are 3 flavors of the Groove 2K7 Server - Management, Relay &
Databridge. I have latter one up & running. We have a Groove Server workspace
(v3.1) that has quite a few members. Drop me your Groove Contact (vcg) file
for an inivitation (email below).

Hi - Thanks for the information. I am about to look at it now.

One other quick question to get me pointed in the right direction. I
installed the Groove client on a copule of machines and was able to create a
workspace on what seems like a peer-to-pper basis. We are a small shop of
10 folks and are licenesed fully for Groove Client/Server so licensing cost
is not an issue.

What benefits do I get by installing a Groove Server as opposed to using
Groove on the peer-to-peer basis and which flavor of Groove do I need if all
users are locally connected or VPN in and what I want is a history of
Discussions, meetings etc....

Thanks again.

there's a nice blog posting by 'The Groove Advisor' titled 'Do I need
Microsoft Office Groove Server?' here that may answer your question -

Not really connected to your original post, I assume you got it downloaded.

Have a quick look at :

Advice on where I can find the download to setup server / relay for download
?
