Using Exchange Server to journal messages to Enterprise Vault

As an alternative to Enterprise Vault Exchange Journal Archiving, you can use Enterprise Vault SMTP Archiving to store journaled messages from an Exchange Server. If you plan to use SMTP Archiving to fulfil this function, then you do not have to set up Enterprise Vault Exchange Journal Archiving in addition to SMTP Archiving.

For SMTP Archiving, you can configure Exchange Server to journal messages to an SMTP address.

You can use either Exchange Database Journaling or Transport Rule Journaling to archive the mail of a subset of users in an Exchange database. Transport Rule Journaling requires an Exchange Enterprise CAL.

  • If you use Database Journaling, then you can configure Exchange to journal all users in a particular Exchange database to Enterprise Vault.

  • If you use Transport Rule Journaling, then you can create Exchange journal rules to select which users are journaled to Enterprise Vault.

Alternatively, if you use Exchange Database Journaling and want to archive the messages of selected mailboxes, you can move the mailboxes to databases that are set to journal to Enterprise Vault SMTP Archiving servers.

With SMTP Journaling the archive is determined by the target routing address. If you want more than one target archive, then you need multiple routing addresses. Configure a different archive for each target routing address. To optimize performance, the archives should be on different Enterprise Vault storage servers. You can use Exchange Transport Rule Journaling rules to send messages to the appropriate target routing address.

Alternatively, if you want to use a single routing address, but store the messages in multiple archives to spread the archiving load over several Enterprise Vault storage servers, you can implement target address rewriting.

See About target address rewriting.

Note that SMTP Archiving does not support messages in Transport Neutral Encapsulation Format (TNEF), also known as Outlook Rich Text Format. Messages sent by Exchange Server to Enterprise Vault must be in HTML or plain text format.
