    Hello,

    If you move your users, and they logon with a new/different account, you need to set the new account with permissions on the existing archives. Access to the archive is based on windows logon account, not the outlook profile.. i.e. if I was OLD\BLABLA, and in a month I will be NEW\BLABLA, I'll not have access to my archive anymore, unless NEW\BLABLA gets full permissions.

    The PDF defines how to move EV, and describes what needs to be done. If you move the Vault Stores also, you will need to make sure that the new VSA has full access to the stores. Also take in account the SQL databases and the indexes. The new VSA will need to have full access.

    If you are unsure on how to do this, I suggest you contact a partner, or at least talk to Veritas Support on this.
