How to grant Enterprise Vault permissions on all archives to a user using EVPM (Enterprise Vault Policy Manager)

Solution

The following EVPM script will grant Enterprise Vault permissions on all archives to a user. 

Note: Modify the following parameters in the script below:  DirectoryComputerName, Sitename and  Domain\User under GrantAccess. Edit the file in Notepad and save it in UNICODE format, with a .ini extension.  
 

[Directory]
DirectoryComputerName = Vaultserver_that_hosts_directoryservice
SiteName = Sitename_from_admin_console
 
[ArchivePermissions]
ArchiveName = ALL_MAILBOX
GrantAccess = read write, Domain\User

Run Enterprise Vault Policy Manager (EVPM) from \Program Files\Enterprise Vault  (or \Program Files (x86)\Enterprise Vault) on the EV server logged on as the Vault Service Account (VSA). The syntax for EVPM follows: 

EVPM [-?] [-e Exchange Server computer name ] [-m service mailbox] [-f Initialization file location and name]

Note:  In above command for [-e Exchange Server computer name] use the Exchange server FQDN depending on the Exchange Server version as below:

For Exchange 2010 – You may use the FQDN of the CAS server if it is a standalone configuration with no CAS Array. If we have CAS array configured in Exchange 2010, then use either of the CAS servers FQDN which are part of the CAS array or the CAS array FQDN.

For Exchange 2013 onwards – Use the mailbox server FQDN on which the EV System Mailbox being used in the EVPM command resides.
