EVPM not recognizing SiteName

I'm trying to zap my mailbox with the following script and I am getting back that it does not like the SiteName.  I've triple checked the spelling and even tried the alias, no luck.  This is the first time I've tried this so it might be something easy, but it looks clean to me.

 

Thanks,

Tim

 

[Directory]
DirectoryComputerName = sqlserver
SiteName = EV_SITE

[Mailbox]
DistinguishedName = /o=usii.com/ou=IT/cn=Tim Porreca

[Folder]
Name = Mailboxroot
Zap = True

    Looks like it doesn't like the DN for the mailbox.

     

    Here's an easy way to get the DN for the mailbox:  Run the archiving task in report mode and only select the mailbox(es) you want for the evpm script.  Open the generated report from \program files\enterprise vault\reports\ and the DN for the mailbox is listed there.  You can then copy/paste into the evpm .ini file.

     

    And yes, it is a very formal process.  Hopefully you have your tux and white gloves on.

    Is EV and SQL installed on the same server?  If not, use the name of the EV server that the site alias points to rather than the SQL server name for DirectoryComputerName.

    OK thanks CRO, I changed it to the EV server and seemed to get a little further.... now it dies with the very formal error "Whilst processing..."  This is my mailbox and that is the correct DN.  Any ideas?  Again, could be something easy.

     

    Thanks,

    Tim

    That was the problem, I didn't have my wingtips on.  My account comes up as /o=USI/ou=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF13SUDLT)/cn=Recipients/cn=4987777a-d4481ca7-88246ae9-6ef216.  Thanks for your help!
