Manual Install

If you have problems installing the agent using the options above, you can use the powershell script. Just follow these instructions:

1. Download the .zip and extract it e.g. on the Desktop: Latest Release
2. Open "Exchange Management Shell" from the Startmenu
3. Check your current execution policy and remember it for the last step Get-ExecutionPolicy –List
4. Execute the following command to allow execution of local scripts (will be reset at last step): Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
5. Cd into the folder where the zip has been extracted.
6. Execute the install script .\install.ps1
7. Follow the instructions. For the configuration see next section.
8. Reset the execution policy to the value from step 3. E.g., Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned or Set-ExecutionPolicy Restricted
9. Check EventLog for errors or warnings. Hint: you can create a user defined view in EventLog and then select "Per Source" and as the value "Exchange DkimSigner"

Make sure that the DkimSigner Agent has a "low priority" (high priority number) so that it runs after other agents which might modify the headers. Best to set it to lowest priority (highest number). To get a list of all the Export Agents use the Command Get-TransportAgent To change the priority use Set-TransportAgent -Identity "Exchange DkimSigner" -Priority 3
