How to find EV archive policy thru powershell

Not sure about Powershell but I don't think so. 

I think the easiest thing would be to run the Provisioning Task in Report Mode.  Make sure the Reporting is set to Full and it will list all the mailboxes that are part of provisioning.

Also, do you want to know if they are provisioned or enabled?  Just because a mailbox is provisioned doesn't mean it is enabled.

If you could clarify exactly what you are trying to do maybe we could offer some better ideas.

Hi Tony

I will try and give you a well round overview we are faced with. ... we are a production company so we have alot of staff that will only work certian times of the year or they will leave goto another prodcution company and may come back the following year or 6months down the track and it vital they retain their email. Since the parent company introduced EV (which unfortunaltey was not smooth and i dont think they understood the scope of what we do half way across the world hehe) We have had issues with storage space and have been told that we have had issues with archiving Macs due to client version not being compatible which earlier today i found has been resolved and have been passed onto the parent company.

I shall try and stop digressing.. More to the point now we have lets say somewhere in the vacinity of 500-700 mailboxes and we are unsure how we can find out which mailboxes ARE NOT being archived (how can i say have the client installed to access archive material / Do not have the EV-archive policy associated to their Mailbox or Active directory account). If i login to our exhcange server and goto active directory computers and users and view the EV groups we have (which to what i can they need to be a member of I can see who is currently in that group as a domain user).

What i cant see are the users who might NOT be in this group from our domain which i am struggling to find atm and i thought that maybe i could find this policy through the powershell on users mailboxes but as im typing this im realising that might not be the right direction im trying to head into.

Forgive me I am very much a begineer with EV as we were not given a handover due to the fact that the parent company believe they are responable for the EV server but yet task us with such a thing.... 

in Summary I need to findout if any domain user accounts or their mailboxes ARE NOT currently being archived with EV.

I hope I was more clear with my objective this time and i might have given some insight to aid me. Once again I'm rather new with this system please forgive me for any definitions i might have misconstrude.

Thanks Tony. I believe we do but i have had no reason as of yet to login to that server.. I shall try today. Would it be safe to say that running the query above it will search through all mailboxes and the mail boxes inside EV do they pick them up through exchange or active directory on creation of the account ? just wanting to get an understanding of how the mail box is discovered in EV initally. IM hoping its not through group policy otherwise i believe it will be a long process hehe.

So when you first configure enterprise vault, you create provisioning groups which target AD users and groups etc..... so you could target a group via an LDAP query, or an Organizational Unit or a Distribution List etc

Provisioning then queries AD and then does a lookup of all the users returned to ensure they have a mailbox associated to the account, and then adds the results to the ExchangeMailboxEntry table

Thanks JesusWept3. i was hoping to get on today to look at this but i might not be able to. As soon as i do i shall update the status of this thread.

Cheers

Hi Tony I have managed to gain access to the EV server (admin Console) is there a way i can check from here ?
