EVPM Script in EV 10.0

Thank you. I will try and keep you posted.

Below is what i got so far according to what was mentioned above. Please let me know what you think. thank you.

[Directory]

DirectoryComputerName= evsrv

SiteName = evsrv1

[Filter]
 
Name = Filter1
 
CreateShortcut = true
 
DeleteOriginal = true
 
UnreadMail = true
 
UseInactivityPeriod = true
 
InactivityUnits = days
 
InactivityPeriod = 999999999

[Mailbox]
ProvisioningGroup=Express Provisioning Group

[Folder]

Name= \Forever Vault

FilterName = filter1

NonDeletable=True

retentioncategory=Default Retention Category

OverrideArchiveLocks = true

I forgot to ask. how will you run this script?

evpm -f \\servername\share\evscript.ini

is the above ok?

Thanks again.

So with that Inactivity Period nothing in that folder will ever be archived.  Retention is controlled by the Retention Category, so you would need to create a Retention Category with a Forever setting.

retentioncategory=Forever Retention Category.

and to run the script it would be

evpm -e ExchangeServer -m SMTP:EVSystemMailbox -f \\servername\share\evscript.ini

I have never tried with a share for the file name.  I typically use C:\EVPM_Scripts\evpm.ini

Thank you for the reply. My Default Retention Category is configured to be my Forever Vault. Do i just delete the filter part?  

Yes, the filter is if you want items to be archived by different settings than your mailbox policy.

You might want to create a different retention category because if you decide to change the default retention period it would affect this folder.

So below is my final script. Please let me know what you think. Thanks much.

[Directory]

DirectoryComputerName= evsrv

SiteName = evsrv1

[Mailbox]
ProvisioningGroup=Express Provisioning Group

[Folder]

Name= \Forever Vault

NonDeletable=True

retentioncategory=Default Retention Category

OverrideArchiveLocks = true

In addition, do i have to run this script everytime i add a new user in Exchange? or is it automatic?

It looks ok to me.  You will have to run the script either manually after you enable a user or set it up to run via a schedule task.
