EV 10 Historical Data

Wondering if anyone has installed and used it.

I'm trying to find a solution for taking some old exchange 2003 servers databases and import all the data into EV for E-Discovery.

Is there a easier way than exporting everything to pst and manually importing

    You can use 3rd party products to export 'raw' EDB files (Exchange Database Files) to PST. They cost a bit of money though.

    Then ingest the resulting PSTs into EV.

     

    It's simple.. but time consuming and costly.

    Can you not just stand up temp exchange servers and target them that way?

    EVDC won't be much help here I'm afraid.  I just checked the supported file types and EDBs isn't on the list.

    Thanks Rob,

    I was hoping there was an easier way than the 3rd party tools I have been looking at already

    Wasn't sure if I the EV Discovery Collector could do anything
