Archive usage limit vs. user ability to see their archive size
We are looking at implementing Archive usage limits (EV 10.0.2) . This will require users to "clean up their archives", but how can users see the size of their archive? i.e. A user is over the archive limit and cannot archive any more items so they need to clean up x amount of data/items (delete from archive) in order to free up space. In addition the notification function does not appear to be working in testing so it never tells the user that they are over the limit. Items just simply fail to archive without any indication to the user.
The archive usage limit can be set at one of 3 levels:
- Site
- Vault Store
- Individual archivehe
The notification functionality that goes along with this is somewhat confusing depending on where the setting is made. i.e. if the setting is made at the individual archive level, then are the site settings for notifications still in place?
Thanks for any help if anyone has sorted this out.
We are on EV 10.0.2 and Exchange 2010
Thank You JesusWept3 ! (btw, I assume a referrence to JN 11:35 ? - excellent!),
Regarding the setting at the various levels, thats what I thought. ITs just that the Site level is the only place for the frequency of the notification message (defaults to 7 days).
For the notification: The solution was that the msg file had not been copied over.
Once I copied the files:
ApproachingArchiveQuotaLimit.msg
AND
ArchiveQuotaLimitReached.msg
from the languages folder, the notifications started working. The hint here was that I knew the send on behalf of permissions were probably ok since the standard welcome messages were working ok.
Now - if we could just get a simple way for the user to see their archive size from Outlook or Archive Explorer, search, or somewhere, I'd be all set :-)
thanks again
