EVPM question on ini file

Hello all,

We're in progress of moving users to a new AD.

Enterprise Vault is not actively used anymore, but users that have an archive still require access to their archives.

I've been asked to investigate a way to add the new accounts to the archives to allow access to the archives.

I was thinking to use EVPM, but am not sure about the format of the INI file.

[Directory]
DirectoryComputerName = ServerName
Sitename = SiteName

[ArchivePermissions]
Alink, G. (Gertjan)
GrantAccess = read write, newdomain\AlinkG

Is what I was thinking would be usable.

Does the ArchivePermissions need to be on 1 line?

Alink, G. (Gertjan) GrantAccess = read write, newdomain\AlinkG

Does this require an Exchange server to be available? There are no targets anymore for this EV environment.

If I have 100's of archives would that be something like the below?

[ArchivePermissions]
Alink, G. (Gertjan)
GrantAccess = read write, newdomain\AlinkG

Smith, P (Peter)

GrantAccess = read write, newdomain\SmithP

etc.
 

Thanks for hints.

    Your ini file should look something like the below, with as many ArchivePermissions sections as you need. Note that you can use archive name or id, but if you have multiple archives with the same name it will only apply the permissions to the first one it finds.

    You will also need to be able to connect to an Exchange/Domino mailbox, but I don't think it needs to be an EV target.

    [Directory]
DirectoryComputerName=server
SiteName=name

[ArchivePermissions]
ArchiveName=first archive id
GrantAccess=read,domain\user1

[ArchivePermissions]
ArchiveName=second archive id
GrantAccess=read,domain\user2
