How to use Enterprise Vault Policy Manager (EVPM) to enable archiving for a group of users

Solution

This article describes how to use EVPM to enable archiving for a group of users. This will create archives for each of these users in Enterprise Vault (EV).

In this example, HR is used as the Department Name.  In order for this query to work, within the Properties of each user account, within Active Directory Users and Computers, click the Organization tab and the Department field would list HR. 

Note: Additional EVPM settings and options are available. See the Policy Manager section of on-line help for details.
 
  1. Modify the script below to match the correct Directorycomputername, Sitename and LDAPquery.  Then save the file in Notepad using UNICODE format, with an .ini extension.

    [Directory]
    Directorycomputername = directorycomputername
    Sitename = SiteName

    [Mailbox]
    LDAPquery = (department= HR)

    [Folder]
    Name = mailboxroot
    Suspended = false
    Enabled = True
     
  2. Copy the file to the Enterprise Vault installation directory (i.e. C:\Program Files (x86)\Enterprise Vault).|
     
  3. Run EVPM.exe from a command prompt in the Enterprise Vault installation directory (i.e. C:\Program Files (x86)\Enterprise Vault) as the Vault Service Account (VSA).
     
  4. Type the Exchange Server name and press Enter.
     
  5. Type the Service Mailbox Alias and press Enter.  This is the System mailbox used on the archiving task for the Exchange server. 
     
  6. Type the .ini file name and location and press Enter.
     
    NOTE: If the .ini file is in the Enterprise Vault installation directory (i.e. C:\Program Files (x86)\Enterprise Vault) then only the filename is required.
     
    There should now be an archive for this group of users available for immediate use.
